The presented sample is intended for powering an electronic device for 15 minutes. Used battery dissolves within 30 minutes after immersion in water.
Eight-layer miniature battery including an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte dissolves completely after use, thanks to the alcohol-containing polymer. Nanoparticles not capable of decomposing disperse to the environment and do not pose a threat.
These power supplies are planned to be embedded in implants unrecoverable from the patient's body, because after the establishment of a resource they will dissolve without harming the body. Also, self-destruct batteries will be indispensable in a variety of electronic devices with a limited time of use.
Disposal of spent batteries and accumulators requires significant material costs, and the use of self-destruct batteries allows cutting them. This development will allow finding a compromise between the time of the source's power, its capacity and environmental safety.
