Chinese scientists fabricate wearable batteries that can charge cellphone

STORY: Chinese scientists fabricate wearable batteries that can charge cellphone SHOOTING TIME: April 22, 2024 DATELINE: April 27, 2024 LENGTH: 0:01:06 LOCATION: SHANGHAI, China CATEGORY: SCIENCE/TECHNOLOGY SHOTLIST: 1. various of researchers 2. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): PENG HUISHENG, Professor at Fudan University's Department of Macromolecular Science and Institute for Fiber Electronic Materials and Devices STORYLINE: A team of Chinese scientists has developed a soft and breathable piece of clothing that can not only store energy but also power personal electronic devices such as smartphones and watches. Replacing conventional liquid electrolytes with polymer gel electrolytes is a highly effective strategy for enhancing the flexibility of wearable batteries. However, the inadequate wetting at the interface between the polymer gel electrolyte and the electrode degrades the electrochemical performance, particularly when the battery undergoes deformation. The researchers from Fudan University have cr

OKAYAMA, Japan - The Japanese delicacy tora-fugu is a species of puffer fish that lives in sea water. Now, a research team at Okayama University of Science Professional Training College in Okayama Prefecture has succeeded breeding them in fresh water. The trick, the researchers there say, is to add a small amount of electrolytes into the water. The taste of fresh water-raised tora-fugu, the students involved in the project say, is ''really tasty.''

In addition to improving the efficiency of research, the project will promote the development of materials through materials informatics (MI), which applies AI to the development of materials. In order to maintain international competitiveness amidst a shortage of research personnel, innovative methods to improve the efficiency of experiments will be necessary. (6G), which is expected to be introduced around the year 30, as the subject of the Smart Lab. In the case of the development of high energy density batteries, we will search for new electrolytes that will improve the performance of storage batteries. The Smart Lab will automate processes such as the synthesis and evaluation of samples that are candidates for electrolytes, and the proposal of optimal electrolyte compositions based on experimental results.
