Initially find a new desiccant that is twice as effective as silica gel
Silica gel is almost an indispensable and popular thing in modern life. This special desiccant is present in almost everything, from bakery, shoe or electronics packages.
The new graphene oxide desiccant is twice as effective at absorbing moisture as the current silica gel desiccant. In particular, this substance does not need too much heat to dehumidify and is really economical if used long term.
Silica gel is almost an indispensable and popular thing in modern life. This special desiccant is present in almost everything, from bakery, shoe or electronics packages. However, in fact, silica gel is not necessarily the best desiccant today.
This special desiccant is present in almost every object.
Recently, scientists at the University of New South Wales, Australia have found a new material that is twice as likely to absorb moisture as silica gel.
Graphene oxide material promises to revolutionize the industry thanks to the benefits of hygroscopic and maintaining moisture balance in electronics or everyday products.
Imagine the sports shoes with the smell of sweat can be deodorized easily by specialized dehumidifiers. Based on that mechanism, manufacturers can integrate graphene oxide into the sole to increase the ability to control odor and moisture absorption of shoes. To reuse the desiccant, simply heat the shoes to allow moisture to escape.
According to Technology, graphene is a very special material. It is made up of a layer of carbon atoms and has a very good electrical conductivity. The new desiccant is made up of layers of graphene oxide with capillary and wrinkles like a surface tunnel.
This previously undiscovered special property of graphene allows for rapid absorption and release of moisture. The distance between layers and moisture absorption rate can be easily adjusted to serve many different purposes.
Graphene oxide is a desiccant that is both effective and economical.
The discharge of moisture is of course equally important to the hygroscopic properties. Silica gel is a very good moisture absorber but requires a lot of heat to discharge moisture from moisture-absorbing particles. But with the new desiccant, the temperature for rinsing is relatively low. In other words, graphene oxide is a desiccant that is both effective and economical.
Desiccant has many uses in life, not only helps protect virtual pants from damage caused by mold growth but also very much used in the industry. If research on graphene oxide soon succeeds, this will undoubtedly be an important step forward for mankind.
