Abstract
Provided herein is biodegradable supercapacitor system comprising a protein based flexible thin film substrate, patterned electrodes formed from a biocompatible conductive ink, and biocompatible gel electrolyte. Methods of making the supercapacitor system are also provided.
Claims21
A supercapacitor, comprising
- a flexible protein substrate,
- at least two electrodes comprising a biocompatible conductive ink patterned on the flexible protein substrate, and
- a biocompatible gel electrolyte connecting the at least two electrodes,
- wherein each of the flexible protein substrate, the at least two electrodes, and the gel electrolyte are biodegradable.
1 more element
