How Does Nanotechnology Contribute to Energy Systems?
Nanotechnology offers innovative solutions for energy generation, storage, and conservation. Nanostructured materials are used to improve the efficiency of solar cells, batteries, and supercapacitors. For instance, the use of nanomaterials in solar panels can significantly increase their efficiency by enhancing light absorption and reducing energy loss. Similarly, nanocoatings can be applied to improve the thermal insulation of buildings, leading to better energy conservation.
