Biodegradable Batteries: A Fully Biodegradable Battery for Self‐Powered Transient Implants (Small 28/2018)

In article number 1800994, Lan Yin and co-workers propose a high-performance fully biodegradable primary battery system. Energy provided by a single cell could satisfy most ultralow-power implantable devices and maintain robust functions. The battery is fully degradable both in vitro and in vivo. The battery system could find application in biodegradable, electronic implants for advanced diagnosis and treatment for major diseases.
