MIT Researcher Invents A Way To Save Energy At Home
A researcher from the University of Massachusetts MIT, has developed a new way to energize battery, which means that people can store energy and produce electricity to run appliances at night and at home.
A new catalyst produces oxygen and hydrogen, and then the batteries are used to generate electricity, using much less energy than current methods.
With this catalyst, users can depend on the energy produced by photovoltaic solar energy systems to provide sufficient energy to the process that leads to new energy, said the professor of Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT that developed the new material.
“If you can only have energy when the sun is shining, you are in big trouble. That’s why, in my view, solar energy has not penetrated the market”, said Daniel Nocera, the MIT professor, in an interview. ”If I can provide a storage mechanism, then I will have power 24 hours a day and now we can start talking about solar energy.”
Solar energy has been growing throughout the world, but remains a source of energy very little used in United States only provides power to 600 thousand houses, and then only when it is daytime.
Most homes with solar panels provide power to the grid during the day, but take it back overnight. Nocera said that his invention will allow these people to store solar energy as hydrogen and oxygen, allowing the battery to produce electricity to be used at night.
“I can turn sunlight into a chemical fuel, now I can use solar energy at night.”
Great potential for clean energy
These batteries are interesting because they produce energy from the greenhouse gases associated with climate change, but to produce hydrogen and oxygen which typically need fossil fuels to be produced.
This has led researchers to look for ways to charge these batteries, and this discovery has achieved it, so the possibility of unlimited and clean energy is now a reality.
