Recently, the news of a lotus leaf photovoltaic evaporative generator has attracted widespread attention.
The advent of this generator has successfully transformed the natural phenomenon of lotus leaf transpiration into clean electricity, which means that "natural photovoltaic panels" are expected to be available.
In addition, when this power generation technology is developed, it can basically convert all living leaves into energy, so what kind of scientific research is this?
Lotus leaf transpiration can generate electricity.
On August 8, there was a piece of scientific and technological news about lotus leaf power generation that went viral on Weibo and the circle of friends.
It turned out that the result translated by Chinese scientists, "lotus leaf photovoltaic evaporative power generation", has finally been successfully launched.
What exactly is the result of this scientific research?
In fact, the core of this scientific research achievement is mainly "cucurbita moss".
This plant is very similar to the lotus leaf, and in the spring, its leaf surface takes on a green sheen, and it is impossible to distinguish the authenticity without looking closely.
But the plant will eventually be recognized, and the luster will soon fade.
However, Chinese researchers have discovered a new continent from cucurbits.
They found that when the leaves of the gourd moss were stimulated, the plant released tiny droplets of water into the air.
The droplets then evaporate.
This phenomenon is very common in nature, and people can often see this phenomenon in their lives.
However, this phenomenon has brought great help to scientific researchers.
Because they think, why does the lotus leaf have such a special phenomenon?
More importantly, how can we make the most of this phenomenon and make it more useful?
To this end, researchers conducted an experiment, they technologized this phenomenon, and finally successfully used this technology to develop a "lotus leaf photovoltaic evaporative generator".
The advent of such generators means that "natural photovoltaic panels" are expected to be available.
Movable leaves become energized elements.
However, this makes people wonder that lotus leaves are not the only transpiring plant, so whether it is cucurbita moss or other plants, as long as its leaves evaporate, then such plants should be very common in nature.
So why do researchers deliberately choose lotus leaves to achieve transpiration power generation?
In fact, researchers still have their considerations in making this decision.
For example, the photosynthesis efficiency of lotus leaves is relatively higher, which means that lotus leaves can absorb more solar energy, and because lotus leaves need to regulate the temperature through transpiration, lotus leaves can absorb solar energy while effectively emitting water into the atmosphere through transpiration.
And these two characteristics are exactly in line with the content of the researcher's research.
In other words, the reason why researchers chose lotus leaf as the research object is mainly because lotus leaf itself is a photosynthetic element with a natural transpiration system.
This means that any plant with a natural transpiration system may be a target for photovoltaic evaporative power generation.
In the natural environment, almost all green plants have the characteristics of photosynthesis, but because of the different forms of plants, the photosynthesis efficiency is naturally different.
So this means that basically all green plants can be energized during their leafing period.
This is undoubtedly a very important scientific research achievement for the mainland.
Because the mainland is rich in plant resources, once this technology is carried forward, it will not only reduce the cost of new energy extraction in the mainland, but also reduce the mainland's dependence on imported fossil energy to a certain extent.
Live leaves can yield a hundredfold.
Not only that, if the technology of live leaf power generation is more widely used, then in the near future, we may see some new technological products.
For example, skylights made of movable leaf can automatically ventilate the house, add a certain amount of privacy to the house, and also help residents save energy and protect the environment.
It is also used to make leaf curtains, which can be controlled to adjust the light intensity in the room, which not only makes the room look more refreshing and bright, but also helps residents make full use of natural light sources and reduce the additional energy consumption caused by indoor lighting.
Moreover, the technology can also be widely used in other fields.
Researchers can also use this technology to develop various heat dissipation products, such as to make various explosion-proof tools, and can also be used to make various aerospace products.
With the application of live leaf power generation technology, it is estimated that no one will be willing to spend money on those traditional digital products.
Because these devices look good on the outside, their internal energy sources are those batteries that have a very short lifespan, so they need to spend a certain amount of money to replace the batteries.
Therefore, compared with these digital products, lotus leaves and grass blades that grow in nature are more superior.
Because they are natural photovoltaic panels, as long as they are picked and placed in the sun, the energy accumulated by these plants during their growth will be released to a certain extent.
Moreover, in the long run, the harvested lotus leaves and grass leaves still have a certain use value compared to other plants, because they can also be sold as a new type of renewable energy.
This will undoubtedly bring certain benefits to the farmers who grow these plants, and some farmers can even earn more than 100 times the income, which is undoubtedly a good thing for farmers who want to get rid of poverty.
Therefore, the development of science and technology not only makes our lives greatly convenient, but also allows us to use resources more efficiently, improve the quality of life, and bring more entrepreneurial opportunities and employment opportunities to people.
Therefore, once this scientific research achievement is truly published, it will undoubtedly play a positive role in promoting the mainland's economic development.
