    U.S. researchers say, by replacing enzyme by cell mitochondria and reconstruction of bio-fuels in the decomposition of cellulose molecules, the future will rely on bio-fuel cells or the composition of various bio-fuel energy “drinks” to work.

    Scientists at the American Chemical Society’s annual meeting demonstrated a new biological fuel cell model. The new battery does not use enzymes to use mitochondria to decompose the fuel molecules – cellulose. Eukaryotic cells, mitochondria are important organelles that cell “power plant,” Scientists said.

    The research project leaders, the United States of snow Limindier Saint Louis University said that despite the distance of the practical application of this technology still has a long way to go, but the study is part of the activated cells (in this case mitochondria) integrated into the battery of a milestone progress. The future, this equipment can be replaced in many areas of disposable batteries.

    In general, fuel cells need to fuel molecules of biological decomposition and reconstruction, a process that releases electrons, together form a current.

    Previously, Min Dier team has been using enzymes, enzyme in the decomposition of fuel molecules such as the special aspects of ethanol or glucose is a master. But now they are an integral part of living cells to use mitochondria, mitochondrial enzymes can be combined with the strength and capabilities; will be a lot of fuel elements into the battery can be used directly in the form.

    Mindi Er explained, in order to take full advantage of a fuel, it requires a lot of enzymes, some of the fuel needs of three kinds of simple enzyme, which like glucose is required as many as 22 enzymes, and these enzymes need to be able well together with the co-ordination. The efficient decomposition of mitochondria, mitochondrial able to decompose a variety of fuels, meaning that it can to work through the decomposition of the fuel mixture.

    The new battery is only used on display by a simple molecule composed of fuel; future research will focus on making the cell harnesses the people more familiar with the complex bio-fuel to work.

    Emerging Energy Technology Centre, University of New Mexico director of Sauvé said that, despite technological advances, but the break is not available overnight. For example, people first demonstration of a standard fuel cell and the first of its space exploration, the middle of a full interval of 50 years. Does the technology have a direct practical needs further observation. The main contribution of this works in biotechnology and nanotechnology, a bridge between, and is expected to create a new bio-fuel cell research and development.

    Solar energy is a new clean renewable energy, solar energy to meet future global electricity demand is a magic weapon, energy shortages and environmental pollution problems have become more prominent so that renewable energy solar cells has become widely accepted.

    At present, crystalline silicon solar cell to battery-based, thin film batteries is also developing rapidly. The fact that crystalline silicon PV technology is the most convenient, because the field of microelectronics technology draws, to take advantage of crystalline silicon to create stable and efficient solar cells. The technology has about 90% market shares, while silicon cells have been more than 80% market share. Silicon photoelectric conversion efficiency will up to 22% or more.

    August 26, in Shenzhen City, the inaugural meeting of energy industry associations, the famous professor of Zhongshan University Solar Energy Institute of Shen-hui issued a “Review and Prospect of Solar,” the dossier said: “crystal silicon cells and even in the next 10 years longer time as the leading PV product does not change, the development of crystalline silicon cells has been. Thin film solar cell is a development worthy of attention, but still can not compete with crystalline silicon cells. ”

    BIPV is the world’s photovoltaic power generation has been the most important areas of application and most important market. Professor Shen said that the combination of city and building the future, each building can be an effective use of solar energy. Solar photovoltaic and solar thermal power generation will be a great development, but in the city, photovoltaic power generation will be a selection program.

    Professor Shen also pointed out: “The next decade of growth stage photovoltaic power generation, photovoltaic power generation after 2020 will serve as an important form of energy is expected in developed countries will account for 5% -10% share of electricity.”

    Current solar photovoltaic industry has developed rapidly, the development trend was positive, the outlook will certainly bright. Although the second half of 2010, Germany reduced demand for concentrated photovoltaic subsidies lead to the release of the first half, but demand in other markets is expected to accelerate growth, medium and long term solar industry will remain strong demand, the PV industry is still optimistic about market prospects.

    Pennsylvania State University recently released report, the vinegar and waste water bacteria in the short-time power, it can produce clean hydrogen fuel can be used to drive cars just like gasoline.

    Pennsylvania State University professor Bruce Logan introduced this “microbial fuel cell,” almost any biodegradable organic material into zero-carbon hydrogen.

    As traditional sources of hydrogen hydrogen-powered vehicles rely mainly on fossil fuels, so even if the car itself does not emit greenhouse gases, but the hydrogen production process would result in substantial emissions. The new generation of hydrogen-powered vehicles for the discovery of positive significance to the development and further improve its environmental targets.

    Rogan said: “This is a use of biodegradable, renewable method of hydrogen generation organic matter.” In this study, Logan and his colleagues to extract from the vinegar acetic acid, and into the electrolytic cell, the bacteria in While consumption of acetic acid, releasing electrons and protons, and produces 0.3 volts. When another small voltage applied from the outside, the hydrogen released from the liquid overflow.

    The efficiency of the method is more than the hydrolysis of water molecules of hydrogen and oxygen out of the process. Logan added: “acetic acid hydrolysis of electrolysis process requires only one-tenth of the energy.” Because the bacteria in the electrolysis process were a lot of work, including organic matter is decomposed into sub-atomic particles, which makes the external electronics can be easily the release of particles re-combined to form hydrogen, and then for the car driver.

    Electrolysis process can be cellulose, glucose, acetate or other volatile acids, whereas water is the only electrolysis product.

    While these may sound very far away, but microbial fuel cell technology has been mastered by the people, the researchers began to apply for a patent on the discovery. As the volume of microbial fuel cells are too large can not be directly installed in the car, so fuel must be manufactured in the plant.

    Logan said: “People can respond to these devices installed in food processing plants or farms in the vicinity, the use of the wastewater or cellulose production of hydrogen.” Obviously, with the big cities, these devices are more suitable for construction in rural areas.

    “Nikkei Electronics,” published in the latest issue of Technology Review article about nuclear power. “In” Nikkei Electronics, “the study of nuclear power?”, so presumably there will be many readers mind questions.

    In recent years, I have been doing interviews with solar batteries. At present, the solar cell from reaching its original goal – “and the family quite a generating cost of electricity” (Japan, 24 yen / kWh) is getting closer. Solar cell research to further to develop a long-term goal for 2030 is currently continued to promote research and development. The goal is to 7 yen / kWh. It is said that price is the cost of nuclear power, if achieved, then solar energy will become a major one, solar cells have high expectations for the industry.

    In this context, a claim that the cost of nuclear power could further reduce the risk of enterprise – the United States Terra Power run out. Since the company is funded by the Bill Gates set up, so in Japan has become a hot topic. Is this what kind of technology would affect the future of solar cells you? The Japanese are naturally full of interest.

    Terra Power development called TWR (Travelling-wave Reactor) approach has the following features: fuel replacement frequency up to 60 to 100 years, can be used on Earth is rich in fuel, reactor construction and fuel cycle is relatively simple. Based on these characteristics, the business with confidence, said, “Will be better than the current reactor to further reduce costs.” The company has recruited well-known United States and other countries, researchers, and received venture capital (Venture Capital) of the funding, plans to start early 20s of this century’s first commercial reactor.

    Is not he wants the company to achieve goals? Master of its destiny regarded as a collection of fuel cladding tube material. If the final conclusions from it, it seems to be able to immediately apply the material does not exist. Higher degree of combustion, fuel replacement cycle longer, beyond the unprecedented technical barriers is not easy. However, outstanding researchers, a strong venture capital and the speed of doing things can not be ignored. Terra Power said now with the United States, Japan, and Russia, China and India and other countries of the researchers made contact. Terra Power looking forward to the expert said, “Unlike the previous structure, the development of rapid progress is possible.”

    Currently, nuclear power and solar cells continue to progress. In the future, the two sides may play their respective advantages while symbiosis. Solar cell can achieve considerable power and nuclear power cost? I plan on Sept. 6, 2010 opening of the International Society of solar cells “EU PVSEC” on the latest trends on solar interviews.
