Abstract :
With the continuous growth of the population, with the expansion of the urban area. Human activities and behaviors waste limited resources, a large number of these personal vehicles occupy our roads, also causing various environmental problems. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, green travel has gradually become a way of travel for people living in big cities. Convenience and environmental protection are the main advantages of public transport, but unfortunately, the performance, service and environment of many bus stations are not comfortable and friendly. Therefore, the smart bus station was born, it can not only provide real-time bus information, but also provide a safe and comfortable waiting space. However, with the improvement of service functions, the problem of energy consumption has become increasingly prominent. Energy supply through solar panels can naturally be a sustainable energy source for smart bus stations, but many studies have shown that solar panels themselves are not environmentally friendly, regardless of their materials and recyclability. The author's research revealed that relevant studies have confirmed that spraying an aqueous solution containing carbon nanotubes or graphene on mulberry leaves to feed silkworms doubles the strength of silk spit and the conductivity of carbonized silk is 10 times higher. In addition, robotic fiber spinning technology allows silkworms to independently complete the production of silk objects without killing the silkworms. Through research on graphene silk materials and robotic fiber spinning technology, this paper proposes a biologically independent solution for the production of graphene silk thin film solar panels to seek to solve the problem of solar panel pollution in the smart station.
