## Abstract

A nano power cell and method of use are described wherein the nano power cell absorbs electromagnetic energy is nano particles in an optical fluid that flow in microchannels of the nano power cell.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for manufacturing electromagnetic radiation sensitive particles, the method comprising:
embedding a plurality of particles into a barrier sheet;
etching the barrier sheet to expose a top portion and a bottom portion of each particle embedded in the barrier sheet, wherein the exposed top portions of the particles are separated from the exposed bottom portions by the barrier sheet;
attaching a metal material onto the exposed top portions; and
attaching a dye material to the exposed bottom portions to create electromagnetic sensitive particles.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 further comprising removing the barrier sheet once the metal material and dye material are attached to produce a plurality of electromagnetic sensitive particles.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein attached the metal material further comprising coating the exposed top portions.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein coating the exposed top portions further comprises depositing the metal material onto the exposed top portions.
