Better Biodegradable Battery Offers More Power

Better Biodegradable Battery Offers More Power
Aug-12-18
Biodegradable paper batteries could offer a safe way to power temporary devices designed to degrade after use.

The new biobattery, from a team at Binghamton University, provides more power than was previously possible with its hybrid design of paper and engineered polymers: poly (amic) acid and poly (pyromellitic dianhydride-p-phenylenediamine). The battery will degrade in water, and its modular form allows it to be stacked or folded to increase its power capacity.

According to Associate Professor Seokheun “Sean” Choi, “There’s been a dramatic increase in electronic waste and this may be an excellent way to start reducing. Our hybrid paper battery exhibited a much higher power-to-cost ratio than all previously reported paper-based microbial batteries.”
