Solar-Responsive Transparent Concrete for ZeroEnergy Buildings

The combination of energy efficiency and daylight penetration, with the objective of passive solar harvesting, and the need to integrate solar-responsive transparent concrete, is an innovative material that assists in the creation of zero-energy buildings. This project aims to study the creation of nano-cement containing photovoltaic (PV) nanoparticles, which will consume less energy when used with artificial light to generate renewable energy. Thus, the proposed solution involves using fine-grained concrete filled with optical fibres and translucent aggregate to enable the passage of natural light, and embeds a thin layer of PV cells, such as perovskite and quantum dot solar cells, into the building, which are effective in converting energy. In addition, the mechanical strength, thermal stability, and transparency are increased by a considerable margin using the SiO 2 and graphene oxide nanoadditives. It utilises a self-cleaning TiO 2 base coating that ensures the long-term performance since it neither collects dust nor wears. Experimental testing under controlled conditions is used to analyse the optical, mechanical, and electrical properties of this fabricated material. However, the conduction of light, structural integrity, and energy conversion effectiveness were improved, and the material it enables is key to a sustainable urban infrastructure. Solar-Responsible, Transparent Concrete is an innovative green building technology that minimises the amount of energy consumed and reduces the carbon footprint. Following this, the research will proceed in the direction of cost optimisation, scalability, and achieving maximum performance in various environmental conditions, as well as other successes in smart cities and greener urban development.
