“我们认为我们的技术可能会有一系列的应用,如作为传感器在环境中。beplay体育官网电脑想象一个纸质的一次性环保传感器伪装成壁纸,这可能在家里监测空气质量。beplay体育官网电脑当它所做的工作可能被删除,在花园里生物降解对环境没有任何影响。”beplay体育官网电脑- Dr Marin Sawa, Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London
根据帝国理工学院,白天蓝藻不仅可以发电,还可以继续生产它甚至从分子产生的光在黑暗中。”This ability is a plus for applications that require only small amounts of electricity, but which needs to be supplied around the clock, and a cyanobacteria bio-solar panel could essentially act as a bio-battery as well. Although previous attempts at microbial biophotoltaics (BPV) have been deemed too expensive to make, the team's choice of using a standard inkjet printer to create their cell is meant to also demonstrate that the concept could be "easily" scaled up using today's technology.
另一个潜在应用这种蓝藻bio-solar技术可以监测病人:
“纸质BPVs结合印刷电子和生物传感器技术可以开创一个时代的一次性纸质传感器监测卫生指标如糖尿病患者的血糖水平。一次测量,该设备可以很容易地处理较低的环境影响和易用性可以促进其直接就业的病人。beplay体育官网电脑此外,这种方法的潜力非常划算,也为其发展中国家使用有限的医疗预算和资源紧张状况。”- Dr Andrea Fantuzzi, Department of Life Sciences at Imperial College London
