Extend the lifespan of human gut constructs to stimulate new battery solutions
 |
According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on October 26, recently, researchers working on the research and development of a new generation of batteries found that the finger-like protrusions in the velvet structure of the human intestinal tract can be easily degraded by conventional batteries. Problems provide solutions. Batteries can degrade due to the loss of active substances, so the battery life is often very limited.
According to one of the co-authors of the latest study, Dr Paul Coxon from the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy at the University of Cambridge, the team used a zinc oxide wire to create a structure similar to that of the human intestinal tract. When the velvet-like structure is placed on the surface of one of the battery electrodes, the structure can effectively capture the active material that is about to be lost in the surroundings and prevent the degradation of the battery, thereby significantly prolonging the service life of the battery.
This “Human Intestinal Excitation Battery†R&D project was initiated by the University of Cambridge and cooperated with the Beijing Institute of Technology to conduct experiments on the use of lightweight nanomaterials to simulate the velvet structure inside the human intestine. According to the research team, this discovery has solved a key technical problem that has hindered the rapid development of new-generation batteries, which is of great significance. However, due to the difficulties that still need to be overcome, the battery has not yet been put into mass production.
