Recently, scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute announced that they developed a body fluid which can be used to generate electricity in the electrolyte. This indicates that we a step closer to "bio-energy battery". Scientists hope that "bio-energy battery" can generate electricity by liquid or body fluids, such as tears and urine.
This battery is as thin as paper, in fact, it is a paper itself. Because 90% of the battery is the plant fiber material - it is essential to the traditional papermaking raw materials, which is widely used in variety of paper and paper products. The remaining 10% of the material is aligned carbon nanotubes, its main role is conductive, and because of its existence, the battery becomes black color. These carbon nanotube fibers embedded in paper in the slot, the finished product as nanocomposite paper.
This nano-technology batteries have the same special as the paper: thin and scalable. Meanwhile, because the energy is the body fluids electrolytes (which can be added through the meal), so it is suitable for medical devices. Even out of the body can use, you only need to dip it in the ionic liquid containing electrolytes.
Good scalability can be also one of the advantages of this battery. Researchers say that the future of this battery is put into mass production, then the user can cut into the desired shape it. This nano line material also remains the original performance after perforation, folding and other treatment, and because of light, even if implanted in the human body does not make people ill, so use it for cardiac pacemakers, implantable prostheses and other necessary apparatus body is very good.
In addition, the temperature of the electrolyte solution widely applicable, it is not so easy to condensation or boiling, it can remain liquid -100 degrees Fahrenheit to 300 degree range. In other words, in extreme temperature conditions can still be used normally. In this way, it can also become a vehicle, aircraft and other transportation perfect energy, because they require light, anti-heat and anti-cold battery.
But researchers say that this battery range applications is far more than this, it can even become a high-energy batteries, or high-voltage capacitors. It can be used to huge, explosive energy of the equipment, which can be said that the battery is very potential.
Traditional batteries will stay a large number of pollutants after use, and this battery is not. As the basic raw materials are no harmful chemicals, which is very environmentally friendly. Of course, it still need some time to take this battery into market. The research team is working to improve battery performance, while working to develop the best production methods, and try to make this can enter to the market as soon as possible.
