Ukuqonda nokuphatha izinguquko zomhlaba kanye nokuzuza ikusasa elisimeme kuwumsebenzi iMax Planck Society ezibophezele kuwo. Lokhu kuphinde kubonakale ekuhlelweni kabusha kwe-Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung. Isikhungo esizinze e-Düsseldorf besiphenya indlela yokuthuthukisa insimbi nokunye okusansimbi ukuze kusetshenziswe amandla, ukuhamba, ingqalasizinda, ukukhiqiza, kanye nemithi emashumini ambalwa eminyaka adlule. Eminyakeni yamuva, abacwaningi baye bagxila kakhulu ekutheni insimbi nezinye izinto zensimbi zingakhiqizwa kanjani ngokuncane i-greenhouse gas emissions, kanye nokukhulisa ukusebenza kahle kwezinto ezingavuthiwe ezilinganiselwe zemishini kagesi, amamotho kagesi, namajeneretha. Ukukhombisa lolu shintsho ekugxileni kocwaningo, iSikhungo sesishintshe igama: manje sesizokwaziwa ngeMax Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials.
Cishe amaphesenti angamashumi amabili okukhishwa kwesisi esingcolisa umoya emhlabeni kubangelwa ukukhiqizwa kwezinto ezidingwa abantu ezakhiweni, ingqalasizinda, kanye nemikhiqizo eyahlukene. Imboni yensimbi iyodwa yenza amaphesenti ayisishiyagalombili okukhishwa kwe-CO2. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, izinto eziningi zokusetshenziswa ezidingekayo emiphakathini yesimanje kanye nomnotho ovumelana nesimo sezulu azitholakali kalula noma zikhishwa ngaphansi kwezimo ezingabazekayo zemvelo nezenhlalo. Izibonelo zifaka i-aluminium, esetshenziselwa imizimba yezimoto engasindi, ukukhiqizwa kwayo okukhiqiza udaka olubomvu olunobuthi: i-lithium, ebalulekile kumabhethri, futhi etholakala enanini elilinganiselwe lezindawo emhlabeni jikelele; nezinsimbi zomhlaba eziyivelakancane, ezibalulekile kuma-smartphone, izinjini zikagesi, namajeneretha enjini yomoya, kodwa futhi zibhekene nezinkinga zokushoda.
Izixazululo zemboni yensimbi esimeme
“Izinsimbi, ama-semiconductors, nezinye izinto eziningi zakha isisekelo somphakathi wembulunga yonke. Ngaphandle kwazo, ngabe azikho izindlu, omakhalekhukhwini, izinto zokuhamba, nengqalasizinda - ngamafuphi, umphakathi njengoba siwazi namuhla ubungeke usaba khona. Kodwa-ke, ukukhiqiza nokusebenzisa izinto ezinjalo kunomthelela omkhulu ekukhishweni kwesisi esibamba ukushisa kanye nokuwohloka kwemvelo,” kuchaza uDierk Raabe, uMqondisi Ophethe eMax Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials. “Esikhungweni sethu, sibhekana nale nselelo: singasisungula kanjani isizinda sezimboni esisha ngesikhathi esifushane? Ukuqondiswa kabusha okuqhubekayo kubonisa ukuguquguquka ezindaweni esigxile kuzo. Sisebenzela imibuzo ebalulekile mayelana nokuthi umphakathi wethu wezimboni wesimanje ungaba kanjani esimeme kakhulu jikelele. “
Abacwaningi baseMax Planck Institute eDüsseldorf bafuna izindlela zokukhiqiza insimbi nensimbi nge-ores besebenzisa i-hydrogen, okuhloswe ngayo ukufaka esikhundleni samalahle kule nqubo. Baphenya ukuthi zingathuthukisa kanjani izindlela zokugaywa kabusha kwensimbi, ikakhulukazi ezinsimbi ezingavamile nezidla amandla. Ngaphezu kwalokho, bahlose ukunciphisa umthelela wemvelo wemboni yensimbi ngokujwayelekile, njengokuthuthukiswa kwensimbi ephansi ye-CO2 etholakala odakeni olubomvu, umkhiqizo wemfucuza onobuthi ovela ekukhiqizeni i-aluminium. Ekuthuthukisweni kwezinto ezintsha, baya ngokuya besebenzisa ubuhlakani bokwenziwa ukuthuthukisa izinto ezintsha.
“Ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu kanye nokuvikela indlela esiziphilisa ngayo kuphakathi kwezinselelo ezinkulu ezibhekene nesintu namuhla,” kusho uMongameli wakwaMax Planck uPatrick Cramer. ” I-Max Planck Society izimisele ukufaka isandla ekutholeni izisombululo zalezi zinselele. Ukuqondiswa kabusha kwanamuhla kwe-Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung maqondana nocwaningo lwezinto ezisimeme kugcizelela lokhu kuzibophezela, kuqinisekisa ukuzinikela kwayo ekuphenduleni. Isayensi nenqubekelaphambili yomphakathi.”
