Physicists at ITMO University have discovered a new method that can use transparent materials for solar cells while maintaining their efficiency. The new technology is based on doping methods, which change the properties of materials by adding impurities, but does not require the use of expens...

4、 Increase natural gas production Anaerobic digestion - Microorganisms decompose biodegradable or waste materials without the need for oxygen, and recover energy from wastewater by producing biogas (mainly the main component of natural gas). But this process is usually ine...

2、 Plant MFCs Another renewable and sustainable substrate that MFCs can use for power generation is plant root exudates, also known as plant MFCs. When plants grow, they produce carbohydrates such as glucose, some of which seep into the roots. The microorganisms near the ro...

1、 Fecal microbiota Biodegradable substances in waste such as feces and urine can be converted into electrical energy. This has been confirmed in a microbial fuel cell toilet in Ghana, indicating that the toilet may become a potential power station in the future. This two year old...

How they work MFCs use a system consisting of anode and cathode electrodes, which can be input or output through current. A common MFCs system consists of an anode chamber and a cathode chamber separated by a membrane. Bacteria grow on the anode and convert the substrate into ca...

It is estimated that by 2050, the world population will reach 9.5 billion. Given that most of our current energy comes from fossil fuels, this poses significant challenges in mitigating climate change while providing sufficient sustainable electricity. In recent years, an id...

Researchers led by WMG at the University of Warwick between the UK and the United States conducted operational X-ray studies to accurately quantify the types of magnesium and oxygen under high pressure. They demonstrated how X-ray beams irreversibly drive highly oxidized magnesium (Mn7+) to ir...

Electric vehicles will one day dominate the road and are crucial for eliminating carbon dioxide emissions. However, the main problem faced by car manufacturers is how to manufacture a cost-effective, durable, high energy density battery that can charge quickly and efficiently. Therefore, there...

High energy batteries for electric vehicles require high capacity battery cathodes. A new type of lithium excess rich magnesium cathode is expected to replace the existing nickel rich cathode, but understanding how magnesium and oxygen adapt to charge storage under high pressure is crucial for...

He said, "We will start having repeatable income and profitable projects in 2021, which is good, opening up various other avenues for the growth capital we may ultimately need. In the foreseeable future, we are in a favorable position Harper pointed out that one advanta...
