Abstract

With the rapid advancement of nanotechnology and material preparation techniques, semiconductor nanomaterials have garnered increasing attention across various fields due to their distinctive optical and catalytic properties. These materials hold significant potential for applications in renewable energy, particularly in solar energy utilization, owing to their high energy conversion efficiency and other superior physical characteristics. This article not only summarizes the definition and classification of semiconductor nanomaterials but also delves into their underlying mechanisms. Additionally, it examines their applications and advantages in the realm of renewable energy in light of current technological progress and offers insights into future prospects and challenges. Given the broad application potential and innovative nature of semiconductor nanomaterials, they are poised to significantly enhance the utilization of renewable energy. The research findings indicate that the strategic application of these nanomaterials can lead to substantial improvements in energy conversion efficiency and overall system performance, thereby contributing to a more sustainable and efficient energy future.
