By fusing extremely compact electronics with some origami-inspired fabrication, researchers have developed the smallest known micro-supercapacitor to date. Smaller than a dust particle but with a voltage equivalent to an AAA battery, the highly compact energy storage device, which is safe for human usage. Moreover, it doesn’t require any additional ingredient for its functionality as it maintains energy through freely circulating blood present in our body. Initially, the scientists were working on conventional capacitors, known as nano-biosupercapacitors (nBSCs), but later shifted their focus to the sub-millimeter scale. Although developing a tiny, safe, and adaptable device is not an easy job, the researchers were able to develop a safe supercapacitor in order to deliver power to tiny sensors and implants in a patient.
Scientists have accomplished remarkable success in developing the smallest biosupercapacitors. The construction of the device was designed in such a way that a sandwich developed using polymeric layers coating a light-sensitive and photo-resistive material that operates to collect energy. Moreover, the researchers used a separator membrane along with centrally placed electrodes, which were developed through PEDOT:PSS—a conductive biocompatible polymer. These biocompatible membranes were settled on a thin flat surface with high resistance to a mechanical tension. To implant the nano-biosupercapacitor in the body without any obstruction, the researchers decided to control its size, weight, and volume. The team also claims that these tiny supercapacitors generate the same voltage as an AAA battery.
