Successful development of transient battery -Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment

In general, electronic devices are designed and produced for longer endurance, but there are naturally exceptions, such as "Transient Electronics" to be introduced in this article. The original intention of the design is to protect the environment, and activate the degradation components under the trigger of environment such as temperature, light or moisture. Now scientists from Iowa State University have designed a battery for such devices, which will decompose when immersed in water. Under what circumstances should these designs be used? For example, environmental sensors that do not need to be recycled, temporary medical deployment equipment that cannot be moved, or biodegradation of waste consumer goods. If these devices contain batteries, they will cause damage to the environment, which is also the purpose of scientists to develop such batteries.(Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment)

The research team led by Professor Reza Montazami created a 2.5V lithium battery that can drive the desktop calculator for about 15 minutes, and it will completely decompose after being immersed in water for about half an hour. According to Reza Montazami, "This is the first practical transient battery, which can not only provide battery supply, but also have stable and environmentally friendly characteristics."
