Novel idea for ingestible batteries: Use stomach acid as the electrolyte

February 8, 2017 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

stomach battery device

A group of researchers have come up with an idea for an energy-harvesting battery that uses body fluids for part of its chemistry. In tests, device delivered an average power of 0.23 μW/mm2 of electrode area for an average of 6.1 days while sitting in the gastrointestinal tract of pigs. They say this power-harvesting cell could […]

When to use supercapacitors
in battery applications

December 2, 2016 By Lee Teschler 1 Comment

Author: Rutronik Electronics staff As supercapacitors, or electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), become more and more widely used, they are increasingly looked at as replacements for batteries. However, in many cases a 1:1 exchange is impractical or even impossible. Nevertheless, supercaps have their place. Batteries and supercaps are based on completely different energy storage methods. Looking […]
