But the two researchers reckoned that suitably treated wood could do the job of conduction equally well while providing more yielding support for an electrode that was continually expanding and contracting as ions moved in and out of it.

但是两位研究者认为，对木材进行适当的处理后，木材也能同样起到这种传导的作用，同时，当离子从电极间穿梭时，还能够更好地增加电极的柔韧性，使之能够持续地扩张收缩。
