Nano flakes are a type of semiconductor nanostructure with potential uses for solar energy creation. The crystalline structure of the flakes allows the crystals to absorb all light, potentially allowing a higher energy conversion rate than more common silicon semicondustor technology.[1]

Nano flake technology is based on research published in 2007 by Martin Aagesen, a PhD from the Nano-Science Center and the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen.[2] In Aagesen's research, he estimated that the nano flakes have the potential to convert up to 30 per cent of the solar energy into electricity.
