Scientific discovery: flowing salt water over graphene generates electrical energy

ArabiaWeather.com - Omar Dajani - A team of Chinese scientists was able to discover a new and simple way to produce electricity, by drawing salt water droplets through a layer of graphene, in what may be considered the most environmentally friendly way to produce electricity if applied.

The scientific explanation for this discovery is actually very simple. At the moment when the salt water droplets settle stably on the graphene material, the electric load is equal between the two sides, but when the salt water droplets are moved, this generates a small electrical current that increases with the increase in the speed of water movement, but in general, this electric current The generator is considered weak.

The electrical energy generated by this discovery may not be very large, but it is among the steps in the right direction to produce energy in environmentally friendly ways.
