Imagine your cell phone every day will no longer use the battery, you do not bother to charge the batteries of mobile phones, and just send you a little sound, the sound waves produced by mobile phones will be converted electricity to operate. Now that the imagination away seem closer. Recently, the American Institute of Physics published by the Association, “Physical Review, a journal published at the University of Texas professor of chemical engineering at the recent achievements of the Cajun, he and his research team have developed nano-scale piezoelectric material, these materials can be used in products of low power electronics to replace the Laptop battery will run the sound waves in the energy-based products.
Piezoelectric and their application
Piezoelectric body is such a class of materials, when applied mechanical stress, can cause internal tension. In addition, the piezoelectric effect in the electric field, its physical properties will change. Now common for crystals or crystal piezoelectric ceramic (α-quartz) crystals is a 40Y6795 well known piezoelectric. Cajun explained that the key technology for self-powered is the piezoelectric body. “Piezoelectric Body ‘of the English word” piezoelectrics “derived from the Greek” piezein “, its meaning is” topress “(pressure).
Piezo-electric in 1880, was the first time, French scientists have discovered, is not a new concept, from the First World War, the piezoelectric material was used in the acoustic navigation, and ranging device positioning. In today’s society, a microphone and piezoelectric materials are quartz watches. Located on the microphone of the sound vibration piezoelectric chips will change to the current changes. The sound waves hit a Dell Latitude D830 battery piezoelectric thin, it will thin at both ends of the electrodes to generate an electric charge, size and symbols change with the change in sound. This change in load on the piezoelectric plate, then by electronic devices, can be transformed into radio waves spread in remote locations. These radio waves received for radio, and through the radio speakers placed on the vibration of thin piezoelectric crystals, but also become a voice that resonates in the air. Is it can be said that the microphone in the piezoelectric plate can “hear” the sound, while the speakers are on the thin piezoelectric crystals, “talk” or “singing”.
Because the system also contains material piezo-electric, when press the power button, press enter in contact with a piezoelectric crystal, and the resulting pressure, the pressure of the piezoelectric crystal will received to generate sufficient voltage, the voltage generated by spark capable of igniting the gas, the launch vehicle.
Even in some European clubs have also installed a special floor contains a piezoelectric material that the customers dance disco able to absorb the energy generated when the steps are, and the conversion of energy into electrical energy lights for night clubs to provide hp 417066-001 battery energy. According to reports, the Hong Kong Coliseum ready to use this technology, not the movement of personnel into electricity, maintenance of fire museum and music player, the necessary energy.
Low impact on the special
With more and more widely used piezoelectric materials, scientists have thought for products of low power electronics, but the traditional piezoelectric materials are too “big” development, to nanoscale piezoelectric material to become a new R & D staff.
Cajun counterparts from the University of Houston professor and co-operation, through the apple MacBook 13 inch battery study found that a thickness of 21 nm around the ability of piezoelectric materials, processing of the strongest wave to probe the wave energy on the energy efficiency supply 100%. And because of the sensitivity of nano-materials, nano over 21 large and small, nano-materials for other levels can not achieve such high energy conversion efficiency.
Piezoelectric materials industry experts said, the card payment to this new discovery will have a major impact on products of low power electronics, this new material will be mobile phones, notebook computers, special communication devices and other electronics general consumer products such as mp3 players to prove, many consumers because of dissatisfaction toshiba PA3395U-1BRS battery with the use of time, but he hopes to have something to replace those batteries.
The piezoelectric material may also be used on the battlefield. In modern warfare, soldiers often have a large number of advanced electronic devices, such as devices to detect explosives, once inside the cell, without electricity, and combatants can not work, and the VGP-BPS2C sensor filled nano-piezoelectric materials, the acquisition by soldiers with traces of peripheral energy and transforms it into electricity, the exploration mission will be completed, this type of self-generation technology power will be widely used in the war.
Therefore, Cajun nano piezo-electric, although very small, only 21 nm thick, but its impact is no small matter.
Card payments that, in the continued development of the application of piezoelectric material, the piezoelectric materials in nano-class research is a relatively new attempt, we must consider a number of different and complex problems. An analogy, if you want to apple M8403 battery look inside the phone booth the size of objects the size of the equipment transferred to the hair, you will naturally find the difficulty. He said that actually changes the size of study, its response to external conditions, also be different. Materials of the small size of the study, these changes must be taken into account range.
Cajun said: “When the material reduced to nano-size scale, they appeared in certain performance characteristics of a great change. Piezoelectric material would such a development. We found that when the thickness is between 20 nm to 23 nm between efficiency piezoelectric% to 100%. “He said that currently they are studying the fundamental laws of nature, and try to be better applied to development of engineering materials. In addition, they will also learn about the chemical structure of piezoelectric material and physical components, to adopt a way to change the BTP-43D1 structure of materials to improve their performance.
