A team of scientists from the universities of Alberta and Toronto have laid out theblueprints for a "quantum battery" that never loses its charge. 加拿大阿尔伯塔大学和多伦多大学的科学家团队为一种永远不会没电的“量子电池”制定了研发计划。 To be clear, this battery doesn't exist yet — but if they figure out how to build it, it could be a revolutionary breakthrough in energy storage. 需要明确的是，这种电池目前还不存在，但如果他们找到了制造它的方法，这可能会是能源存储领域的革命性突破。 "The batteries that we are more familiar with — like the lithium-ion battery that powers your smartphone — rely on classical electrochemical principles, whereas quantum batteries rely solely on quantum mechanics," University of Alberta chemist Gabriel Hanna said in a statement. 阿尔伯塔大学化学家加布里埃尔·汉纳在一份声明中表示：“我们更熟悉的电池依靠的是传统的电化学原理，例如为智能手机供电的锂离子电池，而量子电池仅仅依靠量子力学。” Dark State 暗态 A paper describing the research was published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry C. in July. The battery works by harnessing the power of "excitonic energy" — the state in which an electron absorbs sufficiently charged photons of light. 记录该研究的论文发表在7月的《物理化学杂志》上。这种电池利用“激子能量”来供电，激子即电子充分吸收带电光子的状态。 |
