Method for energy mutual conversion power generation using chemical reaction by mixture of light-emitting diode (LED) and excellent conductor

Abstract

To solve the issue that an existing photoelectric effect power generator such as a solar cell uses a light source outside a device and thus cannot generator power during the night when light energy for power generation is not available.SOLUTION: A light-emitting diode (LED) having a material characteristic of the mutual conversion action between electric energy and light energy and one of a conductive metal such as copper and aluminum and a carbon-based excellent conductor such as a carbon allotrope are processed in powders or in a solution and are mixed in an appropriate ratio and amount. The mixture is sealed in a power generator, and electricity is provisionally flown from an external power source to the mixture or light is applied on the mixture from an external light source. After that, the mixture becomes in a state in which light emission and power generation occur at the same time (a state in which the mutual conversion between the electric energy and the light energy is being performed). The problem is solved by a method for power generation using the chemical reaction (the energy mutual conversion action) of the "the mixture of a light-emission diode (LED) and an excellent conductor".SELECTED DRAWING: None

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an application technology that utilizes the material properties (photoelectric effect) of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). [Background technology]

[0002] Light Emitting Diode (LED) Lighting Technology

[0003] Semiconductor solar cell (photovoltaic power generation) technology Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Conventional photovoltaic power generation devices such as solar cells generate electricity by utilizing the light energy of a light source external to the device, and therefore have the problem of being unable to generate electricity when the light energy required for power generation is not available, such as at night or during rainy weather. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] Light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which have the material property of being able to convert between electrical energy and light energy, and highly conductive metals such as copper and aluminum, or carbon-based conductors such as carbon allotropes, are processed into powder or liquid form and mixed together in appropriate amounts and ratios to ensure that the constituent materials are evenly distributed. (As long as the chemical composition of the target substance is the same, there is no restriction on its state (solid, liquid, etc.) This mixture is sealed in a power generation device, and electrical energy is temporarily supplied from an external power source (energized) or light energy is temporarily supplied from an external light source (irradiated). The mixture then enters a state in which light is emitted and electricity is generated simultaneously within the device (a state in which electrical energy and light energy are mutually converted). The problem is solved by generating electricity using the chemical reaction (energy interconversion) of this "mixture of light-emitting diode (LED) and good conductor." Furthermore, by using this method, the device can be used not only as a power generation device (power source), but also as a light source such as a lighting device.

Claims

1. There is a type of semiconductor diode called a light-emitting diode (LED) that is used as a light source for lighting devices. This substance has the material properties of emitting light when a voltage is applied (current is passed through it), and generating an electromotive force when exposed to light. This means that light-emitting diodes have the ability to convert between electrical energy and light energy. The light-emitting diode and a highly conductive metal such as copper or aluminum, or a carbon-based conductor such as a carbon allotrope, are processed into a powder or liquid form and mixed together in appropriate amounts and ratios to ensure that the constituent materials are evenly distributed. (As long as the chemical composition of the target substance is the same, there is no restriction on its state (solid, liquid, etc.) This mixture is sealed in a power generating device, and electrical energy is temporarily supplied from an external power source (energized) or light energy is temporarily supplied from an external light source (irradiated). The mixture then enters a state in which light is emitted and electricity is generated simultaneously within the device (a state in which electrical energy and light energy are mutually converted). This method of generating electricity utilizes the chemical reaction (energy interconversion) of this "mixture of light-emitting diode (LED) and good conductor." When this mixture having a power generating function is used as a power source for electrical appliances, there is no restriction on its state, such as solid or liquid. Furthermore, there are no limitations on the shape or material of the outer frame of the power generating device (such as a battery) into which the mixture is sealed, and the mixture does not need to be sealed within the power generating device. This also includes the case where the solution mixture is directly applied to the inside of an electrical appliance like paint and then connected to electrical wires, circuits, etc. (There are several types of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) depending on the color (wavelength) of light they emit, but the type of emitted color (type of wavelength) is not limited. All LEDs with equivalent material properties are included.)
