Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay have created carbon nanoflorets that can efficiently convert sunlight into heat.
Carbon nanoflorets are a unique nanostructure composed of carbon atoms arranged in a distinctive floret-like morphology.
These nanoflorets can absorb light at multiple frequencies, including infrared, visible light, and ultraviolet, making them highly efficient at converting sunlight into thermal energy.
Additionally, their unique shape ensures minimal light reflection and efficient heat retention.
It can provide ecologically sustainable heating and has potential uses in various sectors, including construction and healthcare.
