Potato Battery Could Be Resilient 3 Years

Jakarta - The sophistication of smart devices has not been matched by battery endurance . That's why , pembesut gadgets were competing to make them long lasting battery devices .
Well , recent findings from researchers at Virginia Tech University may be a solution . They created a breakthrough by using bio- energy from natural sugar ingredients , rather than chemicals such as lithium batteries which are common in gadgets .
Batteries with this natural sugar energy sources the researchers claimed is ideal for use on mobile phones . In contrast to other bioenergy such as hydrogen and methanol , sugar material arguably more secure because it is non - explosive or explosive and flammable .
" It is logical when we try to ' harvest ' natural energy source that is environmentally friendly manner , for use in batteries , " said Professor Yang YH Percival , spokesman for the researchers , as quoted from Tech Radar , Thursday ( 01/23/2014 ) .
Interestingly , the source of energy is derived from natural starch in the daily diet , one potato . This starch is broken down gradually Zhang mentioned using enzyme cascade .
In this way , electrons with significant quality would appear to produce a flow of energy . Previously , there had been research on sources of energy from sugar . This latest breakthrough , Zhang and his team claimed could produce significant energy .
" The method can now store 10 times more energy than the energy source with basic materials chemistry , " said Zhang .
The report, published in the scientific journal Nature Communications wrote , battery -based potato starch can be used up to three years of battery powering in a single charge . Wow !
