Storing Energy in Biodegradable Electrochemical Supercapacitors.

ABSTRACT: The development of green and biodegradable electrical components is one of the main fronts of research to overcome the growing ecological problem related to the issue of electronic waste. At the same time, such devices are highly desirable in biomedical applications such as integrated bioelectronics, for which biocompatibility is also required. Supercapacitors for storage of electrochemical energy, designed only with biodegradable organic matter would contemplate both aspects, that is, they would be ecologically harmless after their service lifetime and would be an important component for applications in biomedical engineering. By means of atomistic simulations of molecular dynamics, we propose a supercapacitor whose electrodes are formed exclusively by self-organizing peptides and whose e
