A scientist in Taiwan has invented the world’s first chlorophyll organic battery that can supply electricity within 10 seconds of being wetted with water, beverages or even urine.Chungpin Hovering Liao, a professor at the Graduate School of Electro-Optic and Material Science of National Formosa University in central Taiwan’s Yunlin County, told a news conference Wednesday that the battery, when wetted, can provide electricity for two days to a week.Source: taiwannewsWhile the strength of the battery is about half that of an ordinary battery, its storage capacity is more than that of Japan’s water-powered fuel cells, he said.The production cost of the chlorophyll organic battery is very cheap — about NT$1 to NT$2 (Approximate Rs 1.50 to 3 ) , Liao said, adding that the battery contains no toxic substances and will not pose an environmental hazard, even if discarded at will.
