Red bricks turned to Supercapacitors
When we think of futuristic technology, we think of flying cars, hoverboards and sometimes overlook on technology that is possible and scientists and researchers are working on that now, one of such technology is energy storing bricks. Red bricks are the oldest, cheapest, and the most familiar materials used in construction, and they rarely have another use than in construction. Also, our walls of bricks hold up a larger space which cannot be used in other purposes so to use that space more effectively, we can convert that wall into unit of electrical storage. This research was done from Washington University in St. Louis. Energy storing bricks for stationary PEDOT supercapacitors | Nature Communications D’Arcy and his colleagues, including Washington University graduate student Hongmin Wang, showed how to convert red bricks into a type of energy storage device called a supercapacitor . Red fired brick has been found suitable for the same because it is porous,...
