Biointegrated Batteries Turn Energy Storage Materials into Active Therapeutic Devices

Researchers are designing biointegrated batteries that function as active therapeutic devices by combining energy storage with localized electrical stimulation, reactive species release, gas generation, and drug delivery. These batteries use biocompatible, flexible, and biodegradable materials to enable therapies for tissue regeneration, cancer, cardiac pacing, antimicrobial treatment, and more.
