The development of tiny, soft and biocompatible batteries to power minimally invasive biomedical devices is of critical importance. Here the authors present a microscale soft rechargeable lithium-ion battery based on the lipid-supported assembly of silk hydrogel droplets that enables a variety of biomedical applications.
The soft carbon was investigated with great interest because of its promising application in high-power lithium-ion batteries. A recently developed soft carbon has an improved initial irreversible capacity loss, which is currently similar to that of mesocarbon microbeads (MCMB).
Although most research focuses on preventing lithium metal dendrites that eventually short the battery, the nature of these shorts remains elusive. Soft-shorts, in particular, receive little attention or are not recognized, even in published data.
Soft-shorts are diagnosable but also transient, and not every technique works for a given battery system. Soft-shorts could be anything from a forest of lithium growths accounting for >95% of the current flow to a thin dendrite in a crack or grain boundary that only decreases the cell impedance by 10%.
Here we report a microscale soft flexible lithium-ion droplet battery (LiDB) based on the lipid-supported assembly of droplets constructed from a biocompatible silk hydrogel. Capabilities such as triggerable activation, biocompatibility and biodegradability and high capacity are demonstrated.
