Dr Vijayamohanan Pillai, director of the Central Electro Chemical Research Institute (CECRI) in Karaikudi, India, recently claimed: “Nano technology is the panacea for India’s growing power crisis.” He was delivering the 65th Foundation Day lecture at the Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI) in Guindy on 25 April, 2012.

Given the acute power shortage the state is facing today, nano technology could provide economically viable solutions to the crisis, Dr Pillai said.

He made a powerpoint presentation on ‘Advances in nanomaterials and their impact on energy technology’, and stated that the solar power cells and nano cells could solve the energy crisis of the future.
