    Solar energy has potential but was not efficient or cheap, giving it a bad reputation. New technologies like nanopaints can enhance solar energy's reputation as a major energy source. Nanopaints, discovered by Notre Dame researchers, are created by coating titanium dioxide nanoparticles with cadmium sulfide or cadmium selenide then suspending in water-alcohol mixture to make a paste that can turn surfaces into solar panels.

    Latest techniques in solar energy

    Since the industrial Revolution fossil fuels have been the major source of energy but due to weather phenomenon like Global Warming a number of new energy sources like Solar energy,Wind energy came into use.Solar energy in particular had unlimited Potential but it proliferated before it was efficient and cheap as a result the technology got bad reputations and therefore was not as popular as other energy resources. In this presentation I am going to enumerate about some new technologies that will enhance Solar Energies reputation as a major energy source.The first is NANOPAINTS ,commonly called solar paints.Discovered by a team of Notre Dame researches headed by Professor Prashant Kamat that is created by coating nano-sized particles of titanium dioxide with either cadmium sulfide or cadmium selenide, and then suspending them in a water-alcohol mixture to create a paste.
