How does nanotechnology improve energy generation?
Nanotechnology enhances renewable energy technologies by improving the efficiency of solar cells, wind turbines, and other energy-generating systems. For instance, quantum dots and nanowires can be used in photovoltaic cells to increase their efficiency and reduce the cost of solar energy. Additionally, nanomaterials like carbon nanotubes and graphene are being explored to create lighter and stronger materials for wind turbine blades, leading to higher energy capture and reduced material fatigue.
