Absorption vs. Adsorption in Electricity Generation
The innovation revolves around a nanosheat agarose hydrogel composite-based generator that absorbs CO2 in a water-filled hydrogel, separating its ions. Unlike absorption, where a material becomes part of another, adsorption involves sticking to the surface. In this case, the CO2 sticks to the hydrogel, releasing oppositely charged ions. Positively charged ions stick to the hydrogel while smaller negative ions pass through, creating electricity. This technology can produce up to five volts and has immense potential for electricity generation.
