How Does Nanotechnology Enhance Energy Harvesting?
Nanotechnology improves energy harvesting in several ways:
Surface Area to Volume Ratio: Nanomaterials have a high surface area to volume ratio, which increases the interaction with energy sources such as light, heat, and mechanical movement. Quantum Effects: At the nanoscale, quantum mechanical effects can be harnessed to improve the conversion efficiency of energy harvesting devices. Material Properties: Nanomaterials can be engineered to have specific properties that are optimal for different types of energy harvesting.
