New Delhi: Nature has always been an inspiration for many great scientific research and discoveries. Recently, the scientists of Harvard University again proved that right by inventing a new high-performing organic molecule, inspired by vitamin B2, that can safely store electricity. They had preciously developed a high-capacity flow battery that stored energy in organic molecules called quinones and a food additive called ferrocyanide.
In their latest research, the team found inspiration in vitamin B2, which helps to store energy from food in the body. The key difference between B2 and quinones is that nitrogen atoms, instead of oxygen atoms, are involved in picking up and giving off electrons.
