Description

Researchers at the University of Tovakoho produced air using magnesium battery paper, which can be very powerful while being environmentally friendly.

Magnesium could possibly become the next power in the world of batteries, according to the Tech News and Technology News Service. If this is true, lithium and alkaline batteries will be removed. Studies have shown that magnesium-based energy storage devices can be used as a safe and powerful competitor to other metals. Magnesium has more resources on earth than lithium. Also, ions of this metal have higher energy density and have two positive charges. Lithium ions are smaller and have a positive charge.

The idea of making magnesium air batteries is an innovative battery that researchers developed based on paper and worked on water. In this new study, researchers took inspiration to build magnesium air batteries from the respiratory system of plants. The authors of the study said: "We thought that in a new system paper could attract electrolytes with capillary force. Therefore, like the method of absorbing water from the ground by plants, it is possible to make magnesium air batteries. On the other hand, we can solve the problem of abrasion and solving magnesium in the electrolyte.

Using paper-based devices while using less metals and plastics also creates less risk to the environment. Metal-air batteries can pollute the environment due to heavy metals and discarding them can be hazardous to the environment. But paper batteries are disposable and do not cause any pollution.

In addition, paper-based air magnesium batteries offer high performance. According to the researchers, the obstacle to using this type of battery is low mobility of magnesium as an energy source. Because lithium ions move much faster. Previous studies have shown that magnesium ions can be changed to increase the rate of mobility.
