How Does Hybridization Help the Chemistry and Energy Industries?

How Does Hybridization Help the Chemistry and Energy Industries?Chemistry and energy are closely related, and thus it is not surprising that there is a constant need to upgrade, preserve and even further develop the two processes. There are many ways to do this. But the most effective way of doing so is through hybridization. In simple terms, it means improving on the process of one or the other to make it more efficient.One example of hybridization is harnessing the chemical properties of the first to produce more energy than the second. The most obvious example of this is energy from water. The technology now exists to produce hydrogen fuel from water using solar energy. And the price of hydrogen fuel will be lower because it will be produced from water. This has tremendous potential for the entire world to get out of their energy dependence.Another example of hybridization is improving and expanding the storage capacity of the battery. The current technology can easily hold about 80% of what you would like to use, but it may not hold all that you need.Battery storage has never been improved on to the extent needed, nor can it be because of the materials used. An exception to this is the lithium ion battery, which is the best choice for today's high-end mobile phones. Some other examples of hybridization in batteries are hybrid nanowires that can have very long life, and the battery made from carbon nanotubes. All of these can give your mobile phone or car a longer range.It is also possible to combine the two, but very rarely are these combined. One example of this is the use of batteries with a dual charge system. For example, when you are charging for your mobile phone, the energy in the batteries is being stored to make sure that it lasts a long time and that there is always enough to go around. When the battery is ready to be used, it sends out an electronic signal that asks the mobile phone to send a request to take the battery off the charger.Unfortunat ely, the energy from the battery cannot take the place of the energy from the other system, and so there is a loss. The best that hybridization can offer in this case is the use of a battery that combines both the electric and the kinetic energy, and this is known as the supercapacitor. These types of batteries are much more cost-effective than the other type, and they can last for a very long time. A typical cell for such a battery would be three times the size of the other, but this is still much better than the batteries of the past.Hybridization allows the creation of new kinds of batteries. They are normally small and are used mostly for smaller devices. But some other applications are now being created because of hybridization. The only thing that we have to do is stop clinging to old methods of energy and chemistry.
