It is no longer news to generate electricity with metal, but to generate electricity with iron!
Because, in the past, rare and expensive metals, such as ruthenium, osmium, and iridium, were used to generate electricity, and how could iron, which is synonymous with cheap metals, do this?
Speaking of which, I have to thank the researchers at Lund University in Sweden for breaking through the cage of thinking, breaking the worldly prejudices, and successfully creating an iron molecule.
Surprisingly, the original purpose of the R & D personnel was to develop photocatalysts to produce fuel, and the development of solar cells to generate electricity is just one of the by-products.
So, what is the relationship between photocatalysts and solar cells?
The answer is that technological photocatalysts containing metal molecules can absorb sunlight and use their energy to make solar cells.
Why must it be iron, not others?
Kenneth Wärnmark, a professor of chemistry at Lund University in Sweden, explained that “iron is very common in the earth ’s crust, so it ’s cheap.†Prior to this, the iron-based molecules they developed had already proved their application in solar applications. potential. Therefore, using iron instead of expensive metals to generate electricity is undoubtedly the best choice.
Currently, iron molecules can be used to produce new types of photocatalysts for solar fuels, and open up other potential applications for iron molecules, for example as materials in light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
As for how long it will be practical for mass production. Kenneth Wärnmark said, "We believe it will take at least ten years."
Eva Embossed Sheet is also called micro dot sheet, made by a roller heat press for the surface texture. It has same function as the Eva Faux Teak Sheet, providing a non-skid feature and perfect protection for boat.
Obviously it is also a DIY Marine Sheet for boat lovers, cut the sheets into size to fit the shape of boat decking, then just simply peel and stick. The micro dots on the surface not only provides a soft and comfortable feeling to feet, but also brings a suitable traction. Due to its sealed embossed surface, it is a lot easier to clean than the EVA Faux Teak Sheet with brushed surface.
