Energy production and storage using biological ion transport systems
This project aims to create a “green” energy storage system that integrates a biological voltage source with a biological supercapacitor to achieve large energy and power capacities in a light-weight sustainable packaging. The project re-defines the concept of “biological engineering” to be one that utilizes proteins, molecules and lipids in combination with synthetic materials to assemble the smart micro/nanostructured energy storage system. There are at least four advantages to this “biological engineering” approach, including (i) the capability for self-assembly, (ii) the easy scalability that follows from using self-assembly, (iii) the easy assembly into 3D structures, and (iv) up to…
