ABSTRACT :
Nano technology is the word making
a huge resolution in our science Industry. It
is a fascinating science for many scientists
as if offers them many challengers, one such
challenges, and one such challenge is
creating nanoleaves using the solar Botanic
technology. By using this nanoleaves
creation, they try to solve our biggest
problem in this year.Yes! We will witness a
world where there will be scarcity for
energy resources, but mankind is blessed
that we are provided with the solar and air
which will last for millions of years. And
recently with the emerging nanotechnology
scientists are working on the new content
called the nanoleaves that will help to
producing electricity with the help of solar
power which can serve the future
demands.As the near future it is expected to
face a huge energy crisis. In this paper we
intend to light on how exactly the
nanoleaves can be achieved and what are the
future aspect and
SBC Engineering college,
prospects. Are we Witnessing a true
revolution in renewable sources?!!!
This is an article on renewable
energy and in particular the innovative
technology of artificial trees and leaves
known as Biomimicry. We begin with an
overview of nanoleaves and Biomimicry.
We begin with an overview of nanoleaves
and Biomimicry concept. The design of the
nanoleaves is based on the principles of
photosynthesis, a natural process where
plants extract the light from solar energy,
and along with CO2 from the atmosphere,
convert it to starches and oxygen, the
oxygen being emitted to the atmosphere.
Nanoleaves development has gone a
step further, in that they are capable of
harvesting the thermal and light energy from
the sun’s energy and convert it to electricity.
The stems of the nanoleaves are designed to
collect kinetic energy from the wind, which
they also convert to electrical energy.
INTRODUCTION TO NANOLEAVES TECHNOLOGY
Nanoleaves and stems are an
emerging form of renewable energy through
collecting energy from the sun and wind and
converting it to electrical energy. The leaves
are distributed throughout artificial trees and
plants, and when operating at optimum
efficiency can supply a whole household
with electricity.
Solar nano technology is used to
collect THERMAL, LIGHT, and WIND
energy, the leaves and stems incorporate
minuscule cells, as explained below;
TYPES OF TRANSDUCERS USED IN
NANOLEAVES
THERMOVOLTAIC CELLS
PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS
PIEZOVOLTAIC CELLS
MECHANISAM OF NANO LEAF
When we insert the
THERMOVOLATIC CELLS,
PHOTOVOLATIC CELLS, PIEZO-
ELECTRIC CELLS into the tree leaves.
That leaves is act as artificial leave in the
tree.
The THERMOVOLATIC cell is used to
convert the sunlight thermal energy into
electrical energy in that artificial leaves.
Nano PHOTOVOLTAIC cells also convert the
invisible light, known as infrared light or
radiation, we can't see it, but we can feel it
- it's warm - that's why we call it radiation.
Due to the unique combination of
photovoltaic in our Nanoleaves it converts
this thermal radiation into electricity.
The Nano PIEZO-ELECTRIC cells is thin
like a natural leaf, when outside forces,
like the wind pushes the Nanoleaf back
and forth, mechanical stresses appear in
the petiole, twig and branches. The more
wind there is, the more Nanoleaves are
moved. Wind that is moving thousands
of Nanoleaves in a tree canopy are
causing mechanical strain in the petiole,
twigs and branches. Nano piezo-electric
elements incorporated in the petiole
twigs and branches are the tiny Nano
piezo-electric elements that will generate
millions and millions of Pico watts
electricity.
WORKINGOF THERMO VOLATIC
IN NANOLEAVE TECHNOLOGY
Out of two junctions T1 and T2, T2
is kept at constant reference
temperature. Hence it is referred as
cold junction.
The temperature changes to be
measured are subjected to the
junction T1, which is referred as hot
junction.
When T1>T2, an EMF is generated
due to the generator gradient.
The magnitude of emf depends on
the materials used for wires and
temperature difference between T1
and T2.
That emf is produced electrical
energy and that energy is stored in
the inverter
VOLATIC CELLS IN NANO LEAVE
TECHNOLOGY.
When the sunlight strikes the photo
voltaic cells the thin p-doped upper
layer absorbed the electrons in the n-
layer which causes formation of
conduction electrons and holes.
These conduction electrons and holes
are separated by depletion region
potential of the P-N junction.
When a load is connected across the
cell; the depletion region potential
Causes the photo current to the
inverter in the tree trunk.

WORKING OF PIEZO-ELECTRIC
CELLS IN NANO LEAVE
TECHNOLOGY
Piezoelectric cells are worked based on the
piezoelectric effect in this nano leave
technology
PIEZO ELECTRIC EFFECT
When two opposite faces of a thin,
slice of certain crystals are subjected to a
mechanical force, then opposite chargers are
developed on the two faces of the slice.
In this technology a crystal is placed
in between two metal electrodes
When the wind force gives the
stress to the up and down side of
this nano leave, the
CRYSTAL in this piezo electric
cell got the vibration.
This vibration actually a kinetic
energy. This energy is converted
form of electrical energy.
This electrical energy stored in
the inverter in tree trunk.
AIR REACTION IN NANO LEAVE:
INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF PE CELL
IN THE NANO LEAVE
INVERTER USE IN NANO LEAVE
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.
The all TV,PV,PE cells source
output are 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

PERFECT TREES FOR NANOLEAVE
TECHNOLOGY
Right now, two main kinds of trees are used
in this technology.
THE BROAD LEAF TREES
THE SOLAR BOTANIC TREES
THE BOARD LEAF TREES
The BROAD LEAF TREES can
provide between 33500 KWH AND
7000KWH per year, in addition to
providing shade, breeze, and beauty.
THE SOLAR BOTANIC TREES
SOLAR BOTANIC’S EVER GREEN
TREES provide between 2500kWh
and 7000kWh per year. These trees
are good for mountainous regions
and hill sides, as they provide good
sound absorbers.
Solar Botanics has also planned a
variety of smaller artificial shrubs for
your smaller electrical needs, like
household appliances. Solar Botanic
has
Nanoleaf roof and wall carpets that can be
easily installed with various leaf designs.
PERFECT PLACE FOR THIS TECHNOLOGY
GREEN DESERT ENERGY
The desert has a unique beauty and a
abundance of renewable energy, we believe
that we can preserve the beauty and exploit
its resources without doing damage to the
desert Ecosystem.The desert regions are
some of the most magnificent ecosystems of
this world: unique natural habitats boasting
incredible diverse fauna and which have
been home to some of the world’s oldest
civilizations. To capture and exploit this
fragile beautiful landscape from renewable
resources we have to think twice, because it
deserves our protection.
Every desert highway mile can generate as
much as 1.2MW of clean electricity per
year, or power over 200 homes. Protects the
environment from otherwise releasing 800
tons of CO2.
DISADVANTAGES:
It is very difficult to interface the
nanocells into the trees leaves.
Cost of this technology is very high.
Very difficult to interface the
inverter to the tree trunk.
CONCLUSION:
By this nanoleaves we definitely try
solve our future upcoming problems due to
the sacaratiry. Of the electrical energy, and
also we product our environment without
any pollutions. We intend to light on how
exactly the nanoleaves can be achieved.
