Abstract

Nanotechnology is extremely important for efficient use, storage and production of energy. In this context, it is one of the main objectives to contribute to cleaner, sustainable, production by reducing energy use with raw materials. Thus, it is ensured to prevent waste from various sources and to develop environmentally friendly production systems that produce less waste. Nanotechnology in the field of renewable energy sources, which is thought to be a solution to global warming that disrupts the natural balance, is one of the popular topics of today's technology. In this study, information is given about the usage areas of nanotechnology and its applications in the field of energy.
