battery To get rid of the problem of the accumulating number of used medical face masks in the trash, scientists have found a way out. They developed a high-efficiency battery from recycling, not very expensive but the cheapest one. How they did it? First scientists began passing ultrasound so that used medical face masks could be disinfected. Then they immersed disinfected medical face mask into the ink made up of graphene and heated the same with temperature up to 140 degrees Celsius.  The purpose of doing this was to get conductive granules that paved the way for the creation of working electrodes . From there, the insulating layer has been separated from used medical face masks. The overall composition is saturated with electrolytes and shielded with a protective shell develop from other types of medical trash – blister packages for medicines. Scientific results While describing the initial tests, researchers said that the battery made from used medical face masks had ac...
