Abstract
This work provides an overview of the use of nanomaterials in solar energy and desalination sectors. Nanotechnology has received considerable attention in the past few years due to availability of new structures at nanoscales with potential applications in various industrial applications especially in the energy field. This work offers the most recent advances of nanotechnology in thermal storage systems, photovoltaic systems, and solar desalination. With the application of nanomaterials, photovoltaic solar cells are increasing their efficiency while reducing the production costs of electricity and manufacturing. According to the US Department of Energy, few power-generating technologies have as little environmental impact as photovoltaic solar panels. Photovoltaic systems generate considerably smaller amount of harmful air emissions (at least 89%) per kilowatt hour than conventional fossil fuel-fired technologies.
