VeChainThor enables efficient and sustainable energy production with blockchain control. Professor Qi Ge, member of the VeChain steering committee, leads groundbreaking research at the intersection of 2D materials and blockchain technology. Professor Ge’s groundbreaking work explores the potential of 2D materials in combination with the VeChainThor blockchain. In an exclusive editorial, Professor Ge sheds light on the importance of sustainable solutions in shaping the technologies of the future.
The professor proposes a new approach, inspired by nature itself, to harness the power of bacteria to generate electricity. He highlights the remarkable ability of some bacteria to produce electricity as part of their metabolic processes. With the help of these bacteria it becomes possible to produce electricity from organic sources such as sugar. Innovative nanotechnology solutions are needed to capture electrical current in individual bacteria. The professor proposes using graphene, an ultra-thin, highly conductive material, to create a network that facilitates the transfer of electrons from bacteria to electrodes.
Although energy production from bacteria offers enormous potential, it also poses challenges, such as maintaining optimal conditions for bacterial growth. Blockchain technology such as VeChainThor can play a key role in monitoring and regulating these processes, enabling efficient and sustainable energy production on a global scale. As the world strives for a more sustainable future, collaborations between cutting-edge technologies such as 2D materials and blockchain promise transformative change, driven by innovation and environmental stewardship.
