Impela kuleli phuzu akusikho okokuqala ufunda ngaye i-graphene, leyo nto esetshenzisiwe eyinkulungwane neyodwa kodwa, okungenani okwamanje, isavivinywa elabhorethri. Njengemininingwane, ngikutshele ukuthi phakathi kwezici ezithakazelisa kakhulu ze-graphene singathola ukuthi, ngokusho kososayensi, icishe iphindwe kayikhulu kunensimbi futhi ikhanye kahlanu kune-aluminium. Kukho konke lokhu kufanele futhi sengeze ukuthi inezakhiwo ezanele ezingabhekwa njengomqhubi ophelele we-thermoelectric.
Ngeshwa, enye yezinkinga ezinkulu ukuthi le nto ifike ekugcineni emakethe ukuthi, okungenani okwamanje, izindleko zayo zokukhiqiza ziphezulu kakhulu, inkinga enesisombululo esinzima futhi lapho sekukhona amaqembu amaningi ososayensi asebenzayo. Ngalesi sikhathi ngithanda ukukutshela ngomsebenzi owenziwa ngabaphenyi abahlukahlukene abavela ku UMnyango weBionanoscience weTechnological University yaseDelf (ENetherlands) ukuze, ngokuthuthuka Amagciwane aphrintiwe ama-3d izinto zangokwezifiso zingakhiwa.
Ngemuva kwengxenye yokuqala yocwaningo, kufanele ngabe sesivele sikwazi ukudala i-graphene yangokwezifiso.
Esifundweni abasiqhubayo, njengoba uzoqonda nje, sithole ukuthi ingxenye ebaluleke kakhulu izama ukuthuthukisa nokusebenzisa uchungechunge lwamaphrinta we-3D aguquliwe ukuze akwazi phrinta amabhaktheriya amakoloni ku-graphene oxide. Ngenxa yokusetshenziswa kwale ndlela, sikwazi ukudala amakoloni onke amabhaktheriya azobhekana nokukhiqiza i-graphene emsulwa ngendlela esebenza kahle kakhulu ngaphandle kwesidingo, njengakuqala, sokusebenzisa izinhlanganisela zamakhemikhali eziyingozi noma imithombo yokushisa ebizayo .
Ekugcineni, vele ngikutshele ukuthi, ezingeni lobuchwepheshe, abacwaningi basebenzisa futhi balungisa i-a Iphrinta ye-CoLiDo 3D elibhekele ukufaka amakoloni amabhaktheriya ngqo lapho edingeka khona ukuze, ngokwesibonelo, sikwazi ukwakha ipuleti le-graphene elinezingxenye ezithile ezisebenza kakhulu kunezinye noma lenze indawo ethile ibe nzima kakhulu ngenkathi enye ingase ibe nezakhiwo ezinwebeka.
