Solar panels provide all the energy needed to power this brick dormitory designed by Louise Braverman to house medical staff at a rural village in Burundi. The Village Health Works Staff Housing accommodates an 18-bed dormitory for the healthcare workers in the 16-hectare village of Kigutu. It was designed by New York-based Louise Braverman as part of a wider masterplan for the area. Via Lauren Moss

For many people, understanding the unique challenges of nanotechnology can feel a little overwhelming. After all, the general consensus is, that it will be quicker to list what nanotechnology won’t change. One element that this technology is likely to have a profound effect on though, is the usage and the popularity of renewable energy, which is further explained here.
Still seen today by many skeptics as a waste of time in regards to the challenge of climate change, renewable energy is set to become a major determining factor of our century and beyond. To this end, it appears that a major branch of technology influencing the fulfillment of this goal, will be nanotechnology.

Now, more than ever, we are faced against the major implications deriving from the uncontrollable use of non-renewable sources of energy. Our contemporary lifestyle, demands that we drive research and practice, towards alternative sources of energy, such that will deal with the current and future energy crisis. In this respect, nanotechnology, seems to be a promising tool to the future of sustainable and efficient renewable energy. Some of the premises from this branch of technology, are explored in this article.

A new technology developed by chemists at UCLA is capable of storing solar energy for up to several weeks. The materials in most of today’s residential rooftop solar panels can store energy from the sun for only a few microseconds at a time. A new technology developed by chemists at UCLA is capable of storing solar energy for up to several weeks — an advance that could change the way scientists think about designing solar cells. The findings are published June 19 in the journal Science. The new design is inspired by the way that plants generate energy through photosynthesis. “Biology does a very good job of creating energy from sunlight,” said Sarah Tolbert, a UCLA professor of chemistry and one of the senior authors of the research. “Plants do this through photosynthesis with extremely high efficiency.” “In photosynthesis, plants that are exposed to sunlight use carefully organized nanoscale structures within their cells to rapidly separate charges — pulling electrons away from the positively charged molecule that is left behind, and keeping positive and negative charges separated,” Tolbert said. “That separation is the key to making the process so efficient.” To capture energy from sunlight, conventional rooftop solar cells use silicon, a fairly expensive material. There is currently a big push to make lower-cost solar cells using plastics, rather than silicon, but today’s plastic solar cells are relatively inefficient, in large part because the separated positive and negative electric charges often recombine before they can become electrical energy. “Modern plastic solar cells don’t have well-defined structures like plants do because we never knew how to make them before,” Tolbert said. “But this new system pulls charges apart and keeps them separated for days, or even weeks. Once you make the right structure, you can vastly improve the retention of energy.” The two components that make the UCLA-developed system work are a polymer donor and a nano-scale fullerene acceptor. The polymer donor absorbs sunlight and passes electrons to the fullerene acceptor; the process generates electrical energy. The plastic materials, called organic photovoltaics, are typically organized like a plate of cooked pasta — a disorganized mass of long, skinny polymer “spaghetti” with random fullerene “meatballs.” But this arrangement makes it difficult to get current out of the cell because the electrons sometimes hop back to the polymer spaghetti and are lost. The UCLA technology arranges the elements more neatly — like small bundles of uncooked spaghetti with precisely placed meatballs. Some fullerene meatballs are designed to sit inside the spaghetti bundles, but others are forced to stay on the outside. The fullerenes inside the structure take electrons from the polymers and toss them to the outside fullerene, which can effectively keep the electrons away from the polymer for weeks.

"A new technology developed by chemists at UCLA is capable of storing solar energy for up to several weeks." changes to solar panel construction that could do away with the need for bulky battery storage or any connection to the grid.
