High capacity batteries that can biodegrade in situ

Innovations to energy storage is a source of continuous research, with all aspects of life potentially affected either by low capacity (resulting in poor performance of the operating machine) or the effects of pollution from resulting waste. Discover how a team of scientists in the US generated a high capacity biodegradable battery that could pose a solution to powering pacemakers as well as to pollution in landfill sites. Download this story and summary slide with questions to use with 14–16 students in your classes on electrochemical cells.
