  • Essay / Nanotechnology and Solar Energy - 598

    The main goal of green nanotechnology has been to develop clean technologies that would minimize potential risks to human and environmental health. Also, encourage the replacement of existing products with clean and more environmentally friendly technologies. The use of green nanotechnologies as a new energy solution has many advantages, both in their current availability and in their current development. Over the coming decades, the greatest growth opportunities will come from the application of nanomaterials for better use of existing resources. Nanotechnology will help reduce the burden of carbon emissions in transportation by using nanocomposite materials that are rapidly diffusing into the automotive and aerospace industries. Nanotechnology applications will result in an annual global saving of 8,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide, which will increase further to over millions of tonnes by 2020. But let's focus on the positive effects of green nanotechnology in solar. Although solar energy is a flexible source As for where the energy could be directly or indirectly converted into energy forms, it is still not perfect. Faced with its inefficiency, scientists are trying to find an alternative solution to store solar cells for as long as possible. The main process of capturing solar energy takes place at the nanoscale. With solar cells, the smaller they are, the more efficient they are. The conversion rate for solar energy is just as competitive as that of fossil fuels, at one dollar per watt of solar energy. With the help of nanotechnology, it could help increase the efficiency of solar energy conversion and reduce costs, making it the ultimate method of raw energy conversion. To ensure that the energy production process remains low-cost and energy production...... middle of paper ......n, Japan has been looking for new ways to improve its energy production. However, rather than using nanotechnology to absorb sunlight, their main goal is to study possible mechanics and machines they can create through nanotechnology. Since development and invention take time and money, some people wonder if it's worth it. Some scientists are studying another clean solution that doesn't require as much funding and time. Nanotechnology is the answer to solar energy. With electrical appliances being used 24/7, and the demand for electricity being high, we need to constantly produce energy. Nanotechnology can help increase efficiency by up to 40%, allowing a normal panel module to produce around 30 watts per square foot. This represents 1.3 mWh for one acre. Thanks to this progress in the development process, there will soon be no more energy crisis..
