Se vi fornissero una “vernice intelligente” , capace di trasformare la luce solare in energia, non vi verrebbe la voglia di spalmarla su qualsiasi superficie?!
Ecco come le nanotecnologie entrano nella vita quotidiana, in campo architettonico, navale, automobilistico…! L’uso di questa vernice potrebbe dare la possibilità di eliminare tutti quegli antiestetici pannelli fotovoltaici che sono spuntati ogni dove in occasione dei vari incentivi. I ricercatori del cSEND della Notre Dame University, negli ultimi 5 anni, si sono specializzati nello sviluppo ed applicazione di nano strutture di biossido di titanio per l’impiego dell’energia solare.
In ambito architettonico, questa nuova vernice permetterebbe interventi in contesti in cui vincoli ambientali e paesaggistici impedirebbero l’adozione di pannelli fotovoltaici. Si potrebbe semplicemente sostituire le comuni vernici con le nuove vernici “fotovoltaiche”, capaci di generare elettricità, l’assenza di silicio permetterebbe anche un’ abbattimento dei costi di approvvigionamento e smaltimento.
Una volta preparato il composto viene applicato su materiali trasparenti semiconduttori.
La scoperta è ancora in fase di sperimentazione,ma gli obbiettivi che i ricercatori si prefiggono sono sia l’abbattimento dei costi di produzione sia il miglioramento dell’efficienza di conversione energetica che attualmente è del 1%.
Restiamo in attesa di dati aggiornati e buone notizie in campo di eco sostenibilità.
Nanotechnology in the service of sustainability.
If you had a "smart paint" that can transform sunlight into energy, there would not be the desire to spread it on any surface?!
Here's how nanotechnology come in everyday life, in architecture, shipbuilding, automotive ...! This paint can give the possiblility to remove all those unsightly solar panels that appeared everywhere in occasion of various incentives. cSEND of theUniversity of Notre Dame’s researchers, in the last 5 years are been specialized in development and application of titanium dioxide’s nanostructures for exploitation of solar energy.
In architecture field, this new paint allows employments in contexts in which the adoption of photovoltaic panels is forbidden. You can simply replace common paint with new paint "photovoltaics" able of generating electricity, absence of silicon would also allow areduction of costs about supplying and disposal.
Once prepared, the compound is applied on transparent materials semiconductors.
This discovery is still being tested, but researchers’s target are reduction of production’s costs and improving efficiency of energy conversion [ currently stands at 1%].
Let's remain in waiting of updates and good ecosostenibitily’ news.
