NANO COATINGS FOR ENERGY GENERATION AND CONSERVATION

Abstract

Nano Coatings for Energy Generation and Conservation chapter presents a comprehensive overview of the transformative role of nanomaterials-based coatings in advancing energy technologies. Nanoscale materials, such as quantum dots, nanowires, and thin films, exhibit unique properties that can revolutionize solar cells, energy storage systems, and energy-efficient coatings[7]. The article discusses the application of nanocoatings in improving the efficiency and durability of photovoltaic cells, enabling more cost-effective and sustainable solar energy production[6]. Furthermore, it delves into the use of nano-engineered coatings to enhance the performance and lifespan of energy storage devices, including batteries and super capacitors. Through these diverse applications, nanocoatings present a promising avenue for addressing energy challenges, promoting renewable energy sources, and enhancing energy conservation in a wide range of industries. This review emphasizes the pivotal role of nanotechnology in shaping the future of energy generation and sustainability.
