在利用降雨捕获清洁能源方面取得重大进展 | Newswise
Newswise — 当两种材料接触时,其表面上的带电实体会受到轻微推动。这就是气球在皮肤上摩擦产生静电的原因。同样,流过某些表面的水也会获得或失去电荷。现在,有研究人员在《ACS Central Science》期刊上发表文章称已经利用这种现象,根据流经管道的雨状液滴进行发电。他们展示了一种新型流动模式,其产生的功率足以点亮 12 个 LED。 这项研究的通讯作者 Siowling Soh 表示:“通过垂直管道落下的水会采用特定的流动模式,也就是塞流,来产生大量的电力。这种塞流模式可以收集雨能来产生清洁和可再生的电力。” 当流水推动涡轮机时,就会发电。但水力发电仅限于水量充沛的地方,例如河流。对于流量较小且流速较慢的水,另一种选择是利用电荷分离,这是一种水在通过具有导电内表面的通道时产生电荷的现象。然而电荷分离效率极低,因为这仅限于水流过的表面。此前,科学家们曾试图通过微纳尺度通道为连续的水流提供更多表面积,从而提高其效率。但是,水不会自然通过如此微小的通道,如果采用泵送方式,则所需能量比产生的能量还要多。因此,Soh、Chi Kit Ao 及同事想要利用能让雨水通过的更大通道发电。 该团队设计了一个简单装置,使水可以通过金属针从塔底流出,将雨水大小的水滴喷入 32 厘米(12 英寸)高、2…
