Abstract
A converter material includes a porous inorganic matrix material having a multiplicity of pores. A multiplicity of inorganic nanoparticles are applied on the surface of the matrix material. The nanoparticles are suitable for converting electromagnetic radiation in a first wavelength range into electromagnetic radiation in a second wavelength range. A method for producing such a converter material and an optoelectronic component that includes such a converter material are furthermore specified.
