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 Exercise Mat is also a EVA gym amt, Eva Fitness Mat and Eva Training Mat, perfect for exercise areas like gym, workshops or kids play areas. Give yourself shock-absorbing comfort when doing yoga, Pilates, cross fit or weight lifting. Protect your little ones when they play, by assembling the mats into a virtual carpet to cover the play area floor. Can also be used in any room you might be standing for long periods like your kitchen or bathroom.
These mats are non-smell and non-toxic, easy to assemble and wipe clean with soap and water. We offer 2 different textures for our exercise mat, which is "T" texture and leaf texture.
The light-weight interlocking tiles each come with two straight edge pieces so you can assemble the mats in a rug-style look. Buy multiple packs to allow yourself the opportunity to mix and match colors, expand the size and personalize your design. Thanks to the puzzle piece edge design, when interlocked the mats stay firmly in place.
