This article presents information from a study on how zinc oxide can be used to generate power for a phone when exposed to sounds. Zinc oxide can produce electricity from mechanical stress, such as sound waves. Researchers formed zinc oxide into a sheets of nanorods that, when hit by sound waves, bent and yielded electric current. Then, aluminum foil was used to convey the current and more battery power was generated for a phone.
While it is important to note that this is developing technology and still has many issues to be addressed before it could be introduced into the manufacture’s market, it is interesting to note the direction of battery power. People always seem to need just a little more charge and inventions like this would help to at least give phones an extra boost of power.
