The magical application of solar energy

When it comes to the application of "solar energy," everyone thinks of solar water heaters that are closely linked with their lives. However, the scope of application of solar energy is far beyond the scope of water heaters. Below, please follow Xiao Bian to explore how solar energy can be applied cleverly.

Solar Mechanical Watch

It has a super solar drive system, not just sunlight, but even weak fluorescent light sources can be converted into electricity. The solar charging board on the dial converts the light into electrical energy and stores it in a large-capacity battery, ensuring stable operation of high-load functions such as radio wave reception and pointer correction. The world's first solar powered mechanical watch. That is, a highly efficient silicon wafer solar lithium battery is used as a driving energy source.

"Air" solar charger

If you go on a journey and you don't have to charge it, for the “flying people” who are busy on a journey, the birth of a solar charger that can be “charged” to recharge on an airplane's glass window is undoubtedly a good news.

This kind of solar charger can be adsorbed on the window through the transparent silica gel around the charger. The solar panel on the charger can convert the solar energy into electric energy to realize charging. The "air" solar charger has a wide range of applications. Any electronic product with a USB interface can be connected to this charger to achieve the charging process.

New solar coating

Professor Lachat Kamart, a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Notre Dam, developed a cheap solar coating that can use semiconductor nanoparticle-quantum dots to generate energy to convert light into electricity. Soon, external wall power generation will not Then is the dream.

The birth of solar paint has brought good news to builders. Today, the application of this technology has a promising market prospect when it calls for energy-saving buildings and green buildings.

Although the photoelectric conversion efficiency of this new solar cell coating is much lower than that of current commercial silicon-based solar cells. However, due to the advantages of low manufacturing cost, the research of such coatings will continue on how to improve the photoelectric conversion rate of coatings.

Solar water treatment technology

The provincial science and technology support program undertaken by the Gansu Provincial Academy of Sciences’ Natural Energy Research Institute “Research on Photocatalytic Treatment of Phenolic Organic Wastewater by Solar Energy” This project is mainly based on the development of photocatalytic composite materials capable of effectively degrading phenolic organic wastewater under sunlight. A photocatalytic material with high catalytic activity for phenolic organics under simulated sunlight and actual sunlight was prepared. According to the catalytic properties and structural characterization of photocatalytic materials, the photocatalytic reaction mechanism was explored for the industrialization of photocatalytic technology. Applications provide certain prerequisites and theoretical guidance.

The project will help improve the utilization of solar energy and realize the application of solar photocatalysis technology on a larger scale. It is a promising water treatment technology and has important significance for the utilization of solar energy and environmental protection.
