Tencent Digital (Wen Xin) According to the Digital Trends website, the morning run helps burn fat, but it may soon be able to charge the user's mobile phone. A smart fiber newly developed by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology in the United States can use motion and sunlight to generate electricity and store electrical energy in the fibers of the fabric.
Zhong Lin Lin, a nanotechnologist at the Georgia Institute of Technology, told the Los Angeles Times that “the goal is to collect energy from the living environment, such as walking or muscle activity, to power small electronic devices. This recent study has attracted a lot of attention. Because flexible electronic devices and wearable devices are very popular during this period, each type of device requires power."
Digital Trends stated that the development of this fabric has been going on for quite some time. In the past 11 years, Wang Zhonglin and his team have been developing this kind of fabric, reducing its weight, improving flexibility, and making it practical. They embed solar cells in long fibers and use solar power to generate electricity, and weave nano-generators that generate electricity by friction, using elongated super-capacitors to store electrical energy.
Current prototype fabrics are fairly small - only 35 square inches (about 226 square centimeters), and less flexible than cotton. The key to improving flexibility is to make the fibers finer. According to Wang Zhonglin, even if only a few current smart fibers are woven into the garment, the generated electricity is enough to charge the cell phone.
Digital Trends said, but this technology will take some time to enter the practical stage. Wang Zhonglin said, “There is still a lot of work to be done: first, to make the fibers finer and to increase their flexibility; secondly, to improve durability so that the clothes can wear longer; and third, we must continue to improve product performance. The higher the better."
