How Do Nanomaterials Improve Solar Panel Efficiency?
Nanomaterials can improve the efficiency of solar panels in several ways. For instance, quantum dots can be tuned to absorb different wavelengths of light, enhancing the spectrum of light captured. Carbon nanotubes can increase the electrical conductivity and mechanical strength of solar cells. Another example is the use of nanowires to create pathways for electrons, reducing energy loss and increasing overall efficiency.
