Nanotechnological nature of generating processes of electrolysis and photosynthesis of water using solar energy

M. Shoikhedbrod

Abstract


Disclosure of the nanotechnological nature of the generation of the water electrolysis process, using solar energy allowed the author to obtain oxygen and hydrogen gases, concentrate high-calorie, rapidly multiplying Chlorella microalgae cells, and also purify industrial wastewater without consuming
electrical energy. No less interesting is the nanotechnological mechanism of the process of photosynthesis of phytoplankton cells, which helped the author explain the enrichment of the atmosphere with oxygen and the utilization of atmospheric carbon dioxide, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions, by phytoplankton cells of the world ocean, using solar energy. The main source of conversion of solar energy into electrical energy is the nanostructure of a silicon semiconductor, using special additives. The main source of oxygen release and utilization of atmospheric carbon dioxide, using solar energy by phytoplankton cells of the world ocean is the photosynthetic nanostructure of phytoplankton cells – chlorophyll. The article reveals the nanotechnological nature of the generation of processes of water electrolysis and photosynthesis of the cells of phytoplankton of the world's oceans,using solar energy, which made it possible to obtain oxygen and hydrogen gases, concentrate high-calorie, fast-reproducing cells of Chlorella microalgae, clean industrial wastewater, enrich the atmosphere with oxygen and utilize atmospheric carbon dioxide, reducing emissions greenhouse gases,by phytoplankton cells of the world's oceans, using solar energy without consuming electrical energy.


Keywords
