Prussian Blue will Power up Worldwide Data Transmission
Picasso and Monet once used it to enlighten the canvases and minds; now it will electrify the servers
For the last three decades, Lithium-ion batteries have made electronic devices and even smart cars run with longevity. However, while emphasizing the operation time, Lithium-ion batteries compromise the stability of the device.
This limitation leaves room to seek for alternative technologies. And for the last few years, battery manufacturers had tried with other elements like Zinc, and Vanadium. These elements show a promising result, but there is an issue that was still unsolved or not resolved with satisfaction.
Electrodes in the core of the battery soak up the ions like a sponge during charging and release them while in use. Traditional carbon and metal electrodes are neither spongy nor durable enough to meet the modern-day need for quick and sustainable energy generation.
Now comes the Prussian Blue-from the pallets of Picasso or Monet to the battery electrode. The chemical structure of this 18th Century invention is perfect for soaking up ions and releasing them as the electrode. Besides, the spongy feature lets the ions move back and forth effortlessly.
