At first I did not believe my friend, saying that butterfly wings could be converted into solar cells but after I read an article and make some research on Google ,then I believed it, you know how? Keep reading you will definitely get the answer from here .

"Common Rose" or it scientific names is Pachliopta Aristolochiae there are many habitat of this species in south asia and west asia. The butterfly consists of black wings and there are white spots on the wings and the wings are vivid red. There are scales on this butterfly wings and it is very efficient to absorb solar energy from the sun and convert it to heat energy. This wing structure can maintain the temperature of the butterfly but can also maintain the beauty of this butterfly as well.

The system that allows conversion of this chemical energy is not only useful for butterflies, but also useful for us. In Photovoltaics also do the same thing as this butterfly wing. Did you know that Photovoltaics is a second-generation solar cell it's made of silicon and it is very thin and Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) from silane and hydrogen gas is the method to build this cell. This type of solar cell is relatively cheap compared to others, it may be quite thin and makes the price less expensive.

According to research scientists the butterfly's wing structure consists of nanoscale close that to the wavelength of light, the microscales, thousand times larger and it's structure periodic . This structure is very organize but lately scientist get that disorder pattern is doing well than organized pattern . It's not only about the wings structure but also on disorder in the structure . There is periodic ridges connecting by the butterfly ribs and also many undiameter holes are suspended there . You can see this clearly on the photo , there are many tiny holes between each other .

On the butterfly wings , there are some part is not same color than other part, some is darker and some part is not and this show that the different density holes . This differentation dividing the butterfly part of the ability to absorb more sunlight or not . The lower hole density is playing roles as the mechanical support meanwhile the large hole density is absorbing light efficiently .Then the researcher do an experiment to investigate what model is most efficiently absorbing light ,there are two types of model smooth and unpattern model and the other one is same as the butterfly .The result when light hit the model is record and they get the pattern model is absorbing the light more efficient compare to smooth and unpattern model .The light interect with the pattern depend on the light wavelength and size of the structure.

There are four nanoholes that decribed by the researcher unpattern ,periodic, all holes have same diameter periodic, holes have different diameters correlated, position and diameter size disorder (Black Butterfly)

The team of scientist invent a photovoltaics , thin layer absorber that made by silicon . It's is inspired by the butterfly wings and they also do as same as the butterfly wings . The result is very excellent , combination of the butterfly wings is work very well .

So we can conclude that all of things in this world have their advantages . Also it will help us to make our life become easier . We just need to keep investigate more and more to get new things . There many things in the world that we don't ever know what is it . Solar energy is very enviroment friendly so if we want to maintain our earth from pollution ,We need to do something . Increase the electric or solar transport , we need to decrease the consumption of petrol . For your further read please visit the link that I put at the reference and watch the video also . Thanks for spending your time on my post .
