I-Resolisary i-Resolisary kwicandelo le-GROLTIONGER: Izazinzulu zikhulisa indlela entsha yokugcina amandla ahlaziyiweyo

Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, amandla ahlaziyekayo sele eyinto edumileyo eyandayo yefonti yemveli. Nangona kunjalo, enye yeyona miceli mngeni mkhulu ejongene nemveliso yamandla ahlaziyiweyo ifumene indlela yokugcina amandla agqithisileyo eveliswe kwimithombo ehlaziyiweyo evuselekayo njengomoya kunye namandla elanga. Kodwa ngoku, izazinzulu zenze ukuqokelelwa okunamandla okunokutshintsha yonke into.

Abaphandi kwiYunivesithi yaseCalifornia, iBerkey sele yenzekile indlela entsha yokugcina amandla ahlaziyekayo anokuguquka ishishini. Iphenyane libandakanya ukusetyenziswa kohlobo lweMolecule ebizwa ngokuba yi "Photowitch," enokufunxa ukukhanya kwelanga kwaye igcine amandla ayo de ifuneke.

Iimolekyuli zePhoswitch zenziwe ngamacandelo amabini: icandelo lokufunxa ukukhanya kunye necandelo lokugcina. Xa ityhilwe ukukhanya kwelanga, iimolekyuli zithaba amandla kwaye ziyigcine ngendlela enesitali. Xa kufuneka amandla, iimolekyuli zinokubangelwa kukukhulula amandla ngendlela yobushushu okanye ukukhanya.

Izicelo ezinokubakho zolu lolo hlaselo zinkulu. Umzekelo, inokuvumela imithombo yamandla ahlaziyekayo efana neSolar kunye namandla omoya asetyenziswe ngempumelelo, nokuba ilanga lingakhanyisi okanye umoya awukhangeli. Inokwenza ukuba ikwazi ukugcina amandla agqithisileyo aveliswa ngexesha lebango eliphantsi kwaye emva koko likhulule ngexesha le-Peak, ukunciphisa isidingo sezityalo zefonisi ezixabisa kakhulu.

Abaphandi abangemva kwalo mtshato banemincili ngefuthe elinokubakho kumzi mveliso wamandla. "Oku kunokuba ngumdlali otshintsha umdlalo," watsho omnye wabaphandi abakhokelayo, uNjingalwazi uOmar Yaghi. "Inokwenza amandla ahlaziyeke ngakumbi kwaye anendleko, kwaye asincede siye kwikamva elizinzileyo."

Ewe kunjalo, kusengumsebenzi omninzi ekufuneka wenziwe ngaphambi kokuba itekhnoloji isetyenziswe ngokubanzi. Abaphandi okwangoku basebenza ekuphuculeni ukusebenza kakuhle kweemolekyuli zePhoswitch, kunye nokufumana iindlela zokukhulisa imveliso. Kodwa ukuba baphumelele, oku kunokuba yinto ephambili kumlo wokulwa notshintsho lwemozulu kunye notshintsho lwethu kwisicoci, ikamva elizinzileyo.

Ukuqukumbela, ukuphuculwa kweemolekyuli zePhoirwitch kumele impumelelo enkulu kumzi mveliso wamandla. Ngokubonelela ngendlela entsha yokugcina amandla ahlaziyekayo, le teknoloji inokusinceda sihlukane nokuxhomekeka kwethu kwifosili yefosili kunye nekamva elizinzileyo. Ngelixa kusekho umsebenzi omninzi ekufuneka wenziwe, olu qhekeko linyathelo elichulumancisayo phambili kwimfuno yethu yokucoca, amandla amaGreen.
