Abstract

Cilj ovog preglednog rada je prikazati trenutne i potencijalne primjene nanotehnologije u energetici bilo to na izravan ili neizravan način. Prije navođenja primjena, utjecaja i karakteristika nanomaterijala definiran je pojam nanotehnologije te njen cilj. Sedam najznačajnijih polja s istraživačkim i razvojnim aktivnostima su: nanokompoziti, nanoelektrode, nanoprevlake, ugljikovi nanomaterijali, tiskana elektronika, nanokatalizatori te nanofluidi. Uvidom u način korištenja nanomaterijala nađeno je da su prisutni izravni (solarne ćelije, gorivni članci, litij-ionske baterije, fosilna goriva, vjetrogregati) i neizravni utjecaji (zgradarstvo, osvjetljenje, auto-dijelovi) dobivanja ili štednje energije. Potencijali nanomaterijala odnosno nanotehnologije su vidljivi iz velikog broja publicirane literature u zadnjih 20 godina. Iako se već veliki broj nanomaterijala koristi danas u energetske svrhe, da bi se taj broj povećao potrebno je svladati probleme kao što su skupa, spora i komplicirana proizvodnja, male učinkovitosti, nepoznavanje mogućih opasnosti, nedovoljno financijskih sredstava te otpor javnosti.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this study was to present the current and the potential uses of nanotechnology in energetics in direct and indirect way. Before citing the uses, influences and characteristics of the nanomaterials, the term and the goal of nanotechnology were defined. Seven of the most significant research and development field: nanocomposites, nanoelectrodes, nanocoatings, carbon nanomaterials, printed electronics, nanocatalysts and nanofluids. By examining the usage of nanomaterials it was noted that there are direct and indirect influences, direct being solar cells, fuel cells, lithium-ion batteries, fossil fuels and wind turbines amongst others and indirect were lighting, auto parts, buildings for harvesting or saving energy. Potentials of nanomaterials or nanotechnology are obvious from the amount of publications in the last 20 years. Although a big number of nanomaterials is already in use for energy purposes, for that number to rise it is necessary to overcome such obstacles as slow, costly and complicated manufacturing, small efficiencies, not knowing the potential hazards, insufficient funding and resistance of the public.
