Green Nanotechnology Based Sustainable Energy Solutions and Environmental Impacts

Abstract

This study focuses on the possible transformative effects that green nanotechnology has in the healthy energy applications and the repression of nature`s negative impacts. By means of environmentallyfriendly production of these nanomaterials, including silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and quantum dots, the current research produced the marked increase in efficiency of solar cells, with a jump to 53% in efficiency compared to traditional solar cells. Moreover, the dopping of lithium-ion cells with silicon nanoparticles brought about a great enhancement, exhibiting a 50% specific capacity progress contrasted with the batteries that continued traditional anodes. Hence, these excellent findings demonstrate the effectiveness of nanotechnology in transforming energy that gathers and holds technology. The paper did an LCA that entailed a detailed analysis of the life cycle of green nanomaterials in order to measure the impact on the environment. The analysis presented by the LCA indicated the application of alternative materials that resulted in a significant reduction of GHG’s (32%), energy of 33%, and In TP of 37%) in comparison with conventional ones. This highlights the sustainability gains that will be obvious by the use of green nanotechnology as a technology of choice, in energy applications. The findings provide numerous beneficial principles for development of green technologies.
