Abstract

We created a 9-cell biobattery stack on paper, which was capable of generating bio-power from microbial metabolism, delivering on-board energy to the next generation of paper-based systems. The developed biobattery stack has competitive advantages over other paper-based batteries in resource-limited and remote regions because water in every environment generally hosts various microorganisms that can operate such a battery. Bacterial cells were contained in patterned hydrophilic paper reservoirs and produced a targeted performance through three-dimensionally stacked batteries. Using origami, a compact, stackable 3-D battery stack was created from 2-D sheets through high degrees of folding along pre-defined creases. The battery stack generated the maximum output voltage of 1.8V and current of 2.5μΛ under 100kΩ.
