EMPA develops biodegradable fungi battery

Share

From ESS News

Researchers in Switzerland are developing a biodegradable battery made from mushrooms. At Empa, a 3D printer has combined two types of mushrooms to create a small living cell that generates electricity.

The academics responsible report a possible application for non-toxic power supply in simple measuring devices such as the temperature sensors used in agriculture or environmental research. After supplying temperature sensors with power for a few days, the organic batteries would decompose.
