WASHINGTON, April 2 (Xinhua Ren Navy) Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientists have used the virus creates a environment-friendly high-power lithium-ion battery, this battery is expected in the future for portable electronic devices and hybrid vehicles .
Scientists will be published on the 3rd
The new issue of “Science” magazine published an article, said that they will first strip of the M13 virus, genetic programming, so that it can be grown as the electrode surface of amorphous iron phosphate. Amorphous iron phosphate Generally that was not a good conductor, but it is in the nanometer scale has become a useful battery materials. the end of these viruses are designed to work with carbon nanotubes to connect, thus creating an increase in the dell 6y270 battery inside the conductive properties of network structure.
Scientists have used microscopes to the hundreds of millions of viral DNA scanned, identified the M13 virus. This virus length of 880 nm is a very simple and easy manipulation of the virus, harmless to human body.
The researchers found that with the carbon nanotube, “binding” of genetically modified virus can make iron phosphate electrode charge-discharge rate and the current state of the art of crystalline lithium iron phosphate electrodes comparable. This “virus, cells” can be filled discharge of at least 100 times without loss of capacitance, although lithium iron phosphate dell 75uyf battery are still gaps, but the latter is expensive and toxic, while “virus cell” There are clear advantages: You can prepare at room temperature or below room temperature, without harmful organic solvent, the battery is also non-toxic material inside.
Who led the study Anjielabei Pilcher said they next plan to use can produce higher capacitance and voltage of the substances, such as manganese phosphate, phosphoric acid and nickel to develop better performance of the dell fk890 battery, and look forward to related technologies as soon as possible into the commercial application stage.
