Human intestinal stimulation battery is expected to extend battery life

According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on October 26, recently, researchers working on the development of a new generation of batteries found in the experiment that the finger-like protrusions in the internal velvet structure of the human intestine can be easily degraded by traditional batteries. The problem provides a solution.

The battery will degrade due to the loss of active substances, so the battery life is often very limited. According to one of the co-authors of this latest study, Paul from the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy at the University of Cambridge? According to Dr. Paulson (Dr Paul Coxon), the team was able to capture the structure of a human body's intestinal structure using a zinc oxide wire and place it on the surface of one of the battery electrodes. The active substance that is about to be lost around it prevents the degradation of the battery, thereby significantly extending the life of the battery.

The R&D project for the “Intestinal Excitation Battery” was initiated by the University of Cambridge and collaborated with Beijing Institute of Technology to conduct a test experiment using light nanomaterials to simulate the velvet structure inside the human intestine. According to the research team, this discovery solves a key technical problem that hinders the rapid development of a new generation of batteries, which is of great significance. However, due to the difficulties that need to be overcome, it is still a long time for the battery to be put into mass production.
