3. INTRODUCTION
Nanotechnology is a revolutionary term creating new
possibilities in the fields of science, technology and industry.
One such challenge is creating Nano-Leaves using the Solar
Botanic Technology.
Nano-Leaves can be a possible
solution to the energy crisis the
world is prone to face in the
near future.
4. Artificial Nano leaves are capable of
harvesting the thermal and light energy
from the sun’s energy and convert it to
electricity.
The stems of the Nano leaves are
designed to collect kinetic energy from
the wind, which they also convert to
electrical energy.
BIOMIMICRY
5. WHY NANO LEAVES?
Existing source of renewable energy, solar panels, parabolic
sun collectors, wind and tidal turbines are less efficient and
expensive.
6. WHY NANO LEAVES?
Other sources like wind mills and solar panel are limited up to
air and solar energy respectively.
Leaves convert the invisible light(radiation) to electricity.
Electrical energySolar energy + Heat energy + Wind energy
7. COMPOSITION OF A NANO-LEAF
Consist Nano-photovoltaic generators.
If light falls on the Nano-leaf, then photo
voltaic produces the electricity.
8. COMPOSITION OF A NANO-LEAF
Consist Nano-thermoelectric cells and 𝑻𝒊𝑶 𝟐.
When the environment is hot, the thermo
voltaic layer produces the electrical energy.
9. COMPOSITION OF A NANO-LEAF
Nano leaf stems consist Nano-piezoelectric
generators (graphene coated with zinc oxide
nanowires).
If leaf is
getting stress
due to wind
or rain,
then piezoele
ctric layer
produces the
electricity.
10. CONSTRUCTION OF A NANO-LEAVES
Two conducting Nano sheets
One layer should be positive other should be negative
Keep positive layer over the negative with a very minute gap
to create an electric field just like a battery.
11. CONSTRUCTION OF NANO LEAVES
Now insert the piezoelectric, thermoelectric and
photovoltaic cell inside two conducting Nano sheets.
14. HOW MUCH ELECTRICITY
GENERATED
As we go for the production its one leaf can
produce 1.25 V with a current of 100mA.
So the total power produced by the one leaf
Power = 1.25*100 =0.125W.
The BROAD LEAF TREES can provide 3500
KWH to 7000KWH per year, besides providing
shade, breeze and beauty.
SOLAR BOTANIC’S EVER GREEN TREES can
provide 2500 KWH and 7000 KWH per year.
15. EFFICIENT THAN OTHER SOURCES
Production machines for these techniques can
cost millions / billion dollars or more.
A major challenge for the field is the education
and training of a new generation of skilled
workers .
16. BEST PLACE TO USE NANO LEAF
Six meter area of Nano leaves can
produce enough energy for an average
household.
Desert: The earth has large areas of
unexploited deserts which can be used to
generate a massive amount of electricity.
It would protect inhabitants from
sandstorms and provide constant shade
form the sun.
Recreational grounds and parks
Office Parking and industrial Zone-
provides electricity to office, parking lights
and other uses.
17. USE OF INVERTER IN NANO LEAF
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.
• All the TV,PV,PE cells
output is 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.
18. FUTURE SCOPE OF RESEARCH
To Use this electricity in driving the car.
By Increasing the dimensions of leaves to
increase the production of electricity.
To use in the heavy transport systems.
To make efficient the Nano-tree for
Photosynthesis And many more.
19. • No air pollution
• We wouldn’t have to worry as much about
future energy sources
• People in poor country would have access to
electricity
• People can save money
• Land requirement is very less
ADVANTAGES
20. • Cost is high
• May cause hazards to the birds and insects
• Hazards to eyesight from solar reflectors
DISADVANTAGES
21. • These super eco friendly, highly efficient
synthetic trees will make use of renewable
energy from the sun along with wind power,
which are an effective clean and
environmentally sound medium of gathering
solar radiation and wind energy.
• By the use of these trees the energy crisis can
be dealt with in an efficient, non polluting
manner

How Nano-Leaves can be made.
What are their applications and future prospects.
