ʻO kahi ʻano pākaukau hou i hana ʻia mai nā polymers conductive uila—ma ke ʻano he plastic—hiki ke kōkua i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka ikehu ma ka grid i ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi a ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi, e hiki ai ke hoʻohana nui i ka mana hou.
ʻO nā pākahi, i hana ʻia e Boston-based startupPolyJoule, hiki ke hāʻawi aku i kahi koho liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi a lōʻihi hoʻi i nā pākahi lithium-ion no ka mālama ʻana i ka uila mai nā kumu intermittent e like me ka makani a me ka lā.
Ke hōʻike nei ka hui i kāna mau huahana mua.Ua kūkulu ʻo PolyJoule ma luna o 18,000 pūnaewele a hoʻokomo i kahi papahana hoʻokele liʻiliʻi me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea kūʻai ʻole a ākea.
ʻO nā polymers conductive a PolyJoule e hoʻohana ai i kāna mau electrodes pākaukau e hoʻololi i ka lithium a me ke alakaʻi i loaʻa maʻamau i nā pā.Ma ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea hiki ke hana maʻalahi me nā kemika ʻenehana ākea ākea, pale ʻo PolyJoule i kahāʻawi ʻomie kū ana i nā mea e like me ka lithium.
Ua hoʻomaka ʻia ʻo PolyJoule e nā polopeka MIT ʻo Tim Swager lāua ʻo Ian Hunter, ka mea i ʻike ua koho nā polymers conductive i kekahi mau pahu kī no ka mālama ʻana i ka ikehu.Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻopaʻa i ke kelepona no ka manawa lōʻihi a hoʻopaʻa wikiwiki.Maikaʻi nō hoʻi lākou, ʻo ia hoʻi, mālama lākou i kahi hapa nui o ka uila e kahe ana i loko o lākou.Ma muli o ka plastic, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā mea hana e hana a paʻa, e paʻa ana i ka pehu a me ka ʻaelike i hana ʻia i loko o kahi pākaukau ke hoʻopiʻi a hoʻokuʻu.
ʻO kekahi drawback nuiikehu ikehu.He ʻelua a ʻelima mau manawa ʻoi aku ka nui o nā pahu pākahi ma mua o kahi ʻōnaehana lithium-ion o ka mana like, no laila ua hoʻoholo ka hui e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kāna ʻenehana no nā noi paʻa e like me ka mālama ʻana i ka grid ma mua o ka uila a i ʻole nā kaʻa, wahi a PolyJoule CEO Eli Paster.
Akā ʻaʻole e like me nā pā lithium-ion i hoʻohana ʻia no ia kumu i kēia manawa, ʻaʻole koi nā ʻōnaehana o PolyJoule i nā ʻōnaehana hoʻomalu wela e ʻike pono ʻaʻole lākou e wela a puhi paha i ke ahi, hoʻohui ʻo ia."Makemake mākou e hana i kahi pākaukau ikaika a haʻahaʻa e hele wale ana ma nā wahi āpau.Hiki iā ʻoe ke paʻi iā ia ma nā wahi āpau a ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hopohopo no ia mea, "wahi a Paster.
Hiki i nā polymers conductive ke lilo i mea pāʻani nui i ka mālama ʻana i ka grid, akā inā paha e pili ana ia i ka wikiwiki o ka ʻoihana e hoʻonui i kāna ʻenehana a, ʻo ka mea nui, pehea ke kumu kūʻai o nā pihi, wahi a Susan Babinec, nāna e alakaʻi i ka papahana mālama ikehu. ma Argonne National Lab.
ʻO kekahinoiʻikuhikuhi i $20 no ka kilowatt-hola o ka waiho ʻana ma ke ʻano he pahuhopu lōʻihi e kōkua iā mākou e hōʻea i 100% ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ikehu hou.He mea nui ia ma mua o nā koho ʻē aʻenā ʻakika mālama pūnaeweleua kālele ʻia.Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Form Energy, ka mea e hoʻopuka ai i nā ʻenekini hao-ea, hiki ke hoʻokō i kēlā pahuhopu i nā makahiki e hiki mai ana.
ʻAʻole hiki iā PolyJoule ke loaʻa nā koinakela haahaa, Hoʻomaopopo ʻo Paster.Ke kuhi nei ʻo ia i $65 i kēlā me kēia kilowatt-hola o ka mālama ʻana no kāna mau ʻōnaehana, me ka manaʻo e makemake paha nā mea kūʻai aku ʻoihana a me nā pono hana mana e uku i kēlā kumukūʻai no ka mea ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o nā huahana a maʻalahi a maʻalahi hoʻi ka mālama ʻana.
I kēia manawa, ʻōlelo ʻo Paster, ua kālele ka hui i ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi ʻenehana maʻalahi e hana.Hoʻohana ʻo ia i kahi kemika hana wai a hoʻohana i nā mīkini i loaʻa i ke kālepa e hōʻuluʻulu i kāna mau pūlima pākahi, no laila ʻaʻole pono ia i nā kūlana kūikawā i koi ʻia i kekahi manawa i ka hana ʻana i ka pākaukau.
ʻAʻole maopopo i ka mea e lanakila ai ke kemika pākaukau i loko o ka waiho ʻana.Akā ʻo ka plastics a PolyJoule, ua puka mai kahi koho hou.
