A fully edible rechargeable battery that can safely dissolve in the human body.
A team of researchers from the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia , with the support of the European Research Council, has succeeded in developing a rechargeable battery made from ingredients and other substances that are entirely edible, some of which can even be found in our kitchens., their findings could one day lead to the design of electronic medical devices to improve the monitoring of health conditions, among other things.
This is combined with nori seaweed, used as a separator to reduce the risk of short circuits, beeswax to encapsulate the electrodes, and gold leaf for the contacts. All the components of this new-generation battery are edible and pose no danger to human health in case of ingestion. “Given the level of safety of these batteries, they could be used in children’s toys, where there is a high risk of ingestion. Actually, we are already developing devices with greater capacity and reducing the overall size. These developments will be tested in future also for powering edible soft robots.”
