INTRODUCTION
• Solar energy plays a major role in present days.
• It is renewable source of energy.• This presentation is about the new type of
solar cell.• It is 5 times efficient than conventional solar
cells.

• Nanotechnology is about building things atom by atom, molecule by molecule.
• Nanotechnology is billionth of a matter.
• It is defined as the study of functional structures with dimensions in the range of 1-100 nanometer.
NANOTECHNOLOGY

Working of solar cell
• These are photovoltaic (PV) cells based on crystalline silicon.
• It absorbs visible sunlight and transferred to the semiconductor material.
• This energy knocks electrons to flow freely, which results current.
• Current is drawn from the metal contacts in PV cell.

Why Nanotechnology in solar cell
•The conventional solar cells are less efficient.
•Their efficiency is very poor in cloudy days.
•To overcome above problems, A new type of solar cell embedded with NANOTECHNOLOGY is developed, which is INFRARED PLASTIC SOLAR CELL.

INFRARED PLASTIC SOLAR CELL
•A plastic solar cell can turn the suns power into electric energy even on a cloudy day.

INFRARED PLASTIC SOLAR CELL
•This plastic material can harness the sun’s invisible infrared rays.
•These plastic solar cells can be taken everywhere.
•It reduces the need to PLUG IN for power.

WORKING OF PLASTIC SOLAR CELL
•It consists of cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanorods and blended with P3HT(poly-3hexylthiophene).
• It requires semiconductor nanorods (7 nm by 60nm).
•The heart of a solar cell is a 200-nm-thick film.
![Page 13: Infra Red Plastic Solar Cell](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/547fd0295906b5ef288b4634/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• A layer only 200 nanometers thick is sandwiched between electrodes.
•It can produce 0.7V at present

•When nanorods absorb light they generate an electron and an electron hole.
•Electron is collected by alluminium electrode.
•The hole is transferred to the plastic and conveyed to the electrode, creating a current.
•Aluminium coating acts as the back electrode .

IMPROVEMENTS
• Better light collection and concentration employed in the solar cells.
• In plastic cells nano rods are closely packed and transfer their electrons more directly to the electrolyte.
• They also hope to tune the nano rods to absorb different colors to span the spectrum of sun light.

APPLICATIONS
• Radio transceivers on mountain tops, or telephone boxes in the country can often be solar powered.
•Telecommunication systems:

• Chip coated in the material could power cell phone
• A couple of drops if the titanium dioxide suspension is then added.
• The slide is then set aside to dry for one minute.
• Coating the cell :
