US researchers said the researchers from the University of Binghamton, New York State University researchers to design a micro-bio-solar cells, the energy density and life are more than all current similar batteries.
According to the United States Daily Science website reported on October 17, Binghamton University Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Science Seo Herne Cui (sound) said that in limited resources and remote areas, self-powered microfluidic chip lab The system is critical to the use of immediate diagnostic equipment with or without external power.Microbial solar cells can be the most suitable power source for these practical applications, as this technology resembles the Earth's natural ecosystem.
"Microbiological solar cells can continue to generate electricity day and night through microbial photosynthesis and respiration, which provides a clean and renewable energy source with self-potential, but because of the lower power and the shorter Life, this promising technology has not been translated into practical applications.
The design of a high-power, long-life micro-microfluidic bio-solar cell, which will provide practical and sustainable power for the application of chip labs.This bio-solar cell Energy density and service life in all current micro-bio-solar cells are the highest.
"The device will allow the bio-light energy conversion technology to be no longer confined to conceptual research and will enhance its transformation potential and provide practical use for immediate diagnostic equipment to operate independently and self-sustainively in resource-constrained and remote areas," he said. , Sustainable electricity.
