Amity School of Applied Sciences organized Seminar on Chemistry and Renewable Energy: Bridging the gaps on 13th January 2021.
The main objective about the energy and what are renewable energy and the different types like solar energy, wind energy, etc. And how the chemistry could be applied in this area. Students also understand how increase the efficiency of the batteries.
Dr. Ranjana Arora , Assistant Professor, Amity School of Engineering and Technology in her seminar she gave the information about the energy, and the law of conservation of energy which states that “energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but can be converted from one form to another. Students also learnt about the renewable energy, its types like solar energy, wind energy, etc. and how chemistry can be applied in this area.
The solar panels which are generally blue in color can be made red, yellow, etc. by using dye materials which will also work on the same principle i.e. used to convert light energy into electrical energy. Even nanomaterials can be used which will enhance the efficiency, due to small size and large surface to volume ratio. Even the batteries can be improved i.e. their efficiency can be increased so that they can be utilized during the winter or monsoon season when sunlight is not much present and solar water heaters are not effective. This seminar was very interactive and informative.
Total 50 students and faculties attended the seminar from chemistry branch of applied sciences.
