Title : How to solve the energy crisis by Nanotechnology

Abstract:

The nanotechnology could deliver world-altering changes in the ways we create, transmit, store, and use energy. The scientists are working to develop super-efficient batteries, low-resistance transmission lines, and cheaper solar cells. However, the likelihood and time frame of these developments is unknown for the moment. The next generation of solar cells is thin film solar cells—flexible sheets of solar panels—that are easier to produce and install, use less material, and are cheaper to manufacture. These sheets can be incorporated into a briefcase that charges your laptop, woven into wearable fabrics that charge your cell phone and iPod, or incorporated into windows that can supply power to high-rise buildings.
In different parts of the world, the people do not have access to safe drinking water. But the new nanofiber water filters can remove bacteria, viruses, heavy metals and organic materials from water. They are re relatively inexpensive and easy to use, so the nanofilter could be widely employed easily. Providing pure drinking water would help prevent disease in many parts of the world, but it would not resolve many basic inequalities.
The nanotechnology has unique properties. The electrical properties, durability, strength and activity of nanomaterials are enhanced and engineered to obtain desired features through nanotechnology. Nanotechnology focusses on solar, hydrogen and biomass energy. The nanostructured catalysts are used to increase the efficiency of fuel cells while porous nanomaterials are used for hydrogen storage. The quantum dots and carbon nanotubes increase the energy absorption properties of solar cells. The development of cost-effective renewable energy systems will contribute to the urgent energy goals of our world and reduce the destructive effect of human activities.
