Zinc-free batteries have attractive prospects due to the common raw materials and high energy density, but its biggest drawback is that it is difficult to charge the batteries. The good news is that a research team at the University of Sydney has created catalysts made up of rich elements that make zinc empty batteries rechargeable and compete with lithium batteries used on mobile devices. The energy of the zinc empty battery comes from the chemical reaction between the zinc and the air surrounding the core. In essence, the oxygen is inhaled to react with the carbon to produce hydroxide, which in turn generates current due to the interaction of zinc anodes.
A researcher holds a prototype of a zinc-free rechargeable battery
Due to the use of air as a reagent, the battery can hold more zinc, thus increasing the energy density and making the battery lighter and safer. The problem is that after the zinc anode is oxidized, it will not be of much use.
Although the zinc in the battery can be completely replaced by "mechanical replacement", or rare earth minerals on the earth as point catalysts to reduce the oxygen at the time of discharge (and generated when charging).
The paper says Yuan Chen: “Before this time, rechargeable zinc-air batteries used expensive metal catalysts such as platinum and ruthenium oxide. By contrast, our approach has resulted in some new families of high-performance, low-cost catalysts.†.
To make this kind of electrocatalyst, the researchers produced metal oxides that do not contain the common elements such as iron, cobalt, and nickel. By carefully controlling the composition, size, and crystallinity of these metal oxides, their production methods can simplify and increase the efficiency of manufacturing rechargeable zinc empty cells.
In the test, the researchers used 120 charge-discharge cycles of the new zinc-air battery for 120 hours and found that the battery lost only less than 10% of its effectiveness. Although not as good as a lithium-ion battery, its cost should be lower and production easier.
Details of this study have been published in the recently published "Advanced Materials" journal.
Reflective warning`s reflection part of the vest is the use of lattice micro-rhombus type refraction and high refractive index of glass beads back to the principle of reflection, through the post-processing of advanced processing technology made. It can reflect the distant light back to the light. Both in the day or night have a good retroreflective optical performance. Especially at night, it can play the same high visibility as the day. The use of this high-energy reflective material made of safety clothing, whether the wearer is in the distance, or in the light or scattered light interference, it can be relatively easy to be found by the night driver.
Reflective warning vests are made of high-visibility reflective material It can make the traffic police work smoothly in the night or special weather in order to reduce the rate of the casualties. it plays a special role in security especially in traffic engineering.When the motor vehicle fails, the driver needs to wear a reflective warning vest, and away from the faulty vehicle to prevent the occurrence of secondary accidents. This kind of reflective warning vest is mainly applicable to police, road officials, traffic commanders, road maintenance personnel, motorists, motorcycles and bicycles drivers, dark light workers and so on in one word, the local worker who needs to use light warning. Widely used in traffic engineering, shipbuilding industry, steel industry, machinery industry, oil industry, ambulance, parking lot, airport, traffic police and outdoor work or construction, plays an important role in good security warning .
When Car Reflective Vest use the aluminum lattice reflective material, not only in a small angle (from the reflective warning vest wearer far away), reflective brightness is high, even at a large angle (from the reflective warning vest wearer closer ), it still has a good reflective brightness, so that the locomotive driver earlier identified roadside vehicle side of the staff, as soon as possible to respond to effectively prevent the occurrence of secondary accidents.
According to reflective vest`s wearing [far distance discovers, near distance recognise" s character. It balances the big and small angle of optical performance. It has a large reflection angle.
