The research group of Tokyo University of Science and Technology has announced the development of a paper-based battery that can use the sugar contained in urine to generate electricity. This battery is expected to have the role of both sensors and power supply.

Urinary incontinence is an annoying problem when nursing disabled elderly. The research team envisages that if this paper-made battery is combined with a simple electronic circuit and put into old people's underwear, once the old person has urinary incontinence, it can become a wireless sensor to notify the nursing staff, which greatly reduces the nursing staff's touring inspection. Workload.

The paper battery they developed was made by impregnating enzymes into paper. When an enzyme degrades sugar in urine, electrons are generated, and these electrons are collected by silver particle wiring printed on paper to generate electricity. In the experiment, the researchers painted urine on a paper cell and confirmed that it could light the light emitting diodes. Most of the paper-made batteries can be produced by printing, so the production cost is very low. The research team plans to target nursing homes and hospitals and strive to make them practical in 5 to 10 years. (Reporter Lan Jianzhong)
