Brown bread electrode
A new study has revealed that brown bread can be molded into carbon electrodes, capable of replacing traditional metal conductors in the most varied electrical devices.
Bread bread bread bread bread, with butter is so goodhe said Rans tinofor over 20 years.
Bread bread bread bread at bread, metallic conductor even bettersays a study now in Royal Society Open Science.
It’s really true. Our street bakers can have the future of technology in the hands (literally). Just begin to enjoy the pieces of old bread and turn them into electrodes Using only water and heat.
“It just is warm them to very high temperatures [800°C] without oxygen to obtain the backbone of carbon“Explained the study leader, David Bujdos.
This material of Carbon that is left is a good electrical conductor.
This is because “bread contains all kinds of things, such as starch, proteins and water,” added the researcher at the University of Pennsylvania to.
The team tested different bread carbonization processes, keeping the electrode form heated intact.
In one of the tests, it used a 3D printed mold to manually stamp pieces of zigzag integral bread before heating.
In another, he mixed pieces of bread in small particles and with water before heating this pasty material in the 3D printed mold.
The researchers found that the bread electrodes kept the shape of zigzag using both methods, but The mix approach produced a more dense and resistant form.
As the researchers clarified, the zigzag pattern tested does not have a specific function, and has only been selected to demonstrate the ability to control the shape of the electrode.
Bread -based components could replace metallic electrodes on devices, simultaneously reducing the hundreds of tons of daily bread daily.
David Bujdos states that this progress can be useful to various applications, from the production of hydrogen fuel until the replacement of copper wires by bread -based wires.
