Fabrication of paint capable of generating electricity from solar energy

Solar panels will soon become the past because researchers have invented new paints, generating electricity from energy nanoparticles that can provide enough electricity to run electrical devices. in the family.

Paint 'Sunbelievable' was invented by scientists at the University of Notre Dame (Indiana, USA), looking like all other ordinary paints, specialized in exterior paint (exterior) houses. However, under the influence of sunlight, semiconductor particles in Sunbelievable paint will produce a small amount of electricity. And in the future researchers hope to amplify this amount of electricity into enough electricity to power home appliances.

Professor Prashant Kamat at the University of Notre Dame said: 'We want to make a breakthrough, reducing our reliance on current silicon solar technology. By combining energy-producing nanoparticles or "quantum dots" with lubricants, we have created a solar coating that can be applied to any heat transfer surface without to special support equipment '.

'Sunbelievable' paints can generate electricity to power appliances.

However, it will take a long time for this special paint to be officially marketed.

According to the Daily Mail (UK), scientists will need to conduct more steps to improve the performance of Sunbelievable paint because the electricity demand of each family is about 26.5m2 equivalent to $ 16,000. The electrothermal treatment of solar panels is being used.

According to Wall Street Journal, many organizations in the US are still investing in traditional solar energy technology. Evidence is on Tuesday (December 20), Google and company KKR & Co announced plans to invest $ 189 million in solar devices in the United States.

In November, Warren Buffett's real estate and energy company invested in two giant energy projects, to buy California energy farms worth up to $ 2 billion, as well as buy 49 % of the shares with a price of USD 1.8 billion belong to the project bid by energy company NRG

'The US energy industry is receiving a huge investment with unprecedented growth in 2011. Solar energy has become an industry in 12 states, helping to create more jobs. jobs across the United States, ' said Rhone Resch, vice president of solar energy at the Los Angeles Times.
