Soft hydrogel lithium ion battery

The development of tiny, soft and biocompatible batteries to power minimally invasive biomedical devices is of critical importance. Here the authors present a microscale soft rechargeable lithium-ion battery based on the surfactant-supported assembly of silk hydrogel droplets. Scale bar: 400μm
