ABSTRACT :

Nano technology is the word making

a huge resolution in our science Industry. It

is a fascinating science for many scientists

as if offers them many challengers, one such

challenges, and one such challenge is

creating nanoleaves using the solar Botanic

technology. By using this nanoleaves

creation, they try to solve our biggest

problem in this year.Yes! We will witness a

world where there will be scarcity for

energy resources, but mankind is blessed

that we are provided with the solar and air

which will last for millions of years. And

recently with the emerging nanotechnology

scientists are working on the new content

called the nanoleaves that will help to

producing electricity with the help of solar

power which can serve the future

demands.As the near future it is expected to

face a huge energy crisis. In this paper we

intend to light on how exactly the

nanoleaves can be achieved and what are the

future aspect and

prospects. Are we Witnessing a true

revolution in renewable sources?!!!

This is an article on renewable

energy and in particular the innovative

technology of artificial trees and leaves

known as Biomimicry. We begin with an

overview of nanoleaves and Biomimicry.

We begin with an overview of nanoleaves

and Biomimicry concept. The design of the

nanoleaves is based on the principles of

photosynthesis, a natural process where

plants extract the light from solar energy,

and along with CO2 from the atmosphere,

convert it to starches and oxygen, the

oxygen being emitted to the atmosphere.

Nanoleaves development has gone a

step further, in that they are capable of

harvesting the thermal and light energy from

the sun’s energy and convert it to electricity.

The stems of the nanoleaves are designed to

collect kinetic energy from the wind, which

they also convert to electrical energy.

INTRODUCTION TO NANOLEAVES TECHNOLOGY

Nanoleaves and stems are an

emerging form of renewable energy through

collecting energy from the sun and wind and

converting it to electrical energy. The leaves

are distributed throughout artificial trees and

plants, and when operating at optimum

efficiency can supply a whole household

with electricity.

Solar nano technology is used to

collect THERMAL, LIGHT, and WIND

energy, the leaves and stems incorporate

minuscule cells, as explained below;

TYPES OF TRANSDUCERS USED IN

NANOLEAVES

THERMOVOLTAIC CELLS

PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS

PIEZOVOLTAIC CELLS

MECHANISAM OF NANO LEAF

When we insert the

THERMOVOLATIC CELLS,

PHOTOVOLATIC CELLS, PIEZO-

ELECTRIC CELLS into the tree leaves.

That leaves is act as artificial leave in the

tree.

The THERMOVOLATIC cell is used to

convert the sunlight thermal energy into

electrical energy in that artificial leaves.

Nano PHOTOVOLTAIC cells also convert the

invisible light, known as infrared light or

radiation, we can't see it, but we can feel it

- it's warm - that's why we call it radiation.

Due to the unique combination of

photovoltaic in our Nanoleaves it converts

this thermal radiation into electricity.

The Nano PIEZO-ELECTRIC cells is thin

like a natural leaf, when outside forces,

like the wind pushes the Nanoleaf back

and forth, mechanical stresses appear in

the petiole, twig and branches. The more

wind there is, the more Nanoleaves are

moved. Wind that is moving thousands

of Nanoleaves in a tree canopy are

causing mechanical strain in the petiole,

twigs and branches. Nano piezo-electric

elements incorporated in the petiole

twigs and branches are the tiny Nano

piezo-electric elements that will generate

millions and millions of Pico watts

electricity.

WORKINGOF THERMO VOLATIC

IN NANOLEAVE TECHNOLOGY

Out of two junctions T1 and T2, T2

is kept at constant reference

temperature. Hence it is referred as

cold junction.

The temperature changes to be

measured are subjected to the

junction T1, which is referred as hot

junction.

When T1>T2, an EMF is generated

due to the generator gradient.

The magnitude of emf depends on

the materials used for wires and

temperature difference between T1

and T2.

That emf is produced electrical

energy and that energy is stored in

the inverter

VOLATIC CELLS IN NANO LEAVE

TECHNOLOGY.

When the sunlight strikes the photo

voltaic cells the thin p-doped upper

layer absorbed the electrons in the n-

layer which causes formation of

conduction electrons and holes.

These conduction electrons and holes

are separated by depletion region

potential of the P-N junction.

When a load is connected across the

cell; the depletion region potential

Causes the photo current to the

inverter in the tree trunk.

WORKING OF PIEZO-ELECTRIC

CELLS IN NANO LEAVE

TECHNOLOGY

Piezoelectric cells are worked based on the

piezoelectric effect in this nano leave

technology

PIEZO ELECTRIC EFFECT

When two opposite faces of a thin,

slice of certain crystals are subjected to a

mechanical force, then opposite chargers are

developed on the two faces of the slice.

In this technology a crystal is placed

in between two metal electrodes

When the wind force gives the

stress to the up and down side of

this nano leave, the

CRYSTAL in this piezo electric

cell got the vibration.

This vibration actually a kinetic

energy. This energy is converted

form of electrical energy.

This electrical energy stored in

the inverter in tree trunk.

AIR REACTION IN NANO LEAVE:

INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF PE CELL

IN THE NANO LEAVE

INVERTER USE IN NANO LEAVE

TECHNOLOGY

The inverter is a DC to AC converter

circuit used in this nano leave

technology.

It is fixed in the trunk part of the

tree.

The all TV,PV,PE cells source

output are connected internally to the

inverter

The total output AC voltage is taken

out of this inverter.We can get 8 kw

power access from inverter to the

electrical applications

PERFECT TREES FOR NANOLEAVE

TECHNOLOGY

Right now, two main kinds of trees are used

in this technology.

THE BROAD LEAF TREES

THE SOLAR BOTANIC TREES

THE BOARD LEAF TREES

The BROAD LEAF TREES can

provide between 33500 KWH AND

7000KWH per year, in addition to

providing shade, breeze, and beauty.

THE SOLAR BOTANIC TREES

SOLAR BOTANIC’S EVER GREEN

TREES provide between 2500kWh

and 7000kWh per year. These trees

are good for mountainous regions

and hill sides, as they provide good

sound absorbers.

Solar Botanics has also planned a

variety of smaller artificial shrubs for

your smaller electrical needs, like

household appliances. Solar Botanic

has

Nanoleaf roof and wall carpets that can be

easily installed with various leaf designs.

PERFECT PLACE FOR THIS TECHNOLOGY

GREEN DESERT ENERGY

The desert has a unique beauty and a

abundance of renewable energy, we believe

that we can preserve the beauty and exploit

its resources without doing damage to the

desert Ecosystem.The desert regions are

some of the most magnificent ecosystems of

this world: unique natural habitats boasting

incredible diverse fauna and which have

been home to some of the world’s oldest

civilizations. To capture and exploit this

fragile beautiful landscape from renewable

resources we have to think twice, because it

deserves our protection.

Every desert highway mile can generate as

much as 1.2MW of clean electricity per

year, or power over 200 homes. Protects the

environment from otherwise releasing 800

tons of CO2.

DISADVANTAGES:

It is very difficult to interface the

nanocells into the trees leaves.

Cost of this technology is very high.

Very difficult to interface the

inverter to the tree trunk.

CONCLUSION:

By this nanoleaves we definitely try

solve our future upcoming problems due to

the sacaratiry. Of the electrical energy, and

also we product our environment without

any pollutions. We intend to light on how

exactly the nanoleaves can be achieved.
