PLANT-BASED ELECTRICAL DEVICES

Abstract

A device may include a decellularized biological scaffold, a first electrode, and a second electrode, wherein the decellularized biological scaffold is in electrical and/or chemical communication with the first and second electrodes. In one example, the device is a battery and the device may include an electrolyte layer supported on the decellularized biological scaffold; an anode layer disposed on a first side of the electrolyte layer; and a cathode layer disposed on second side of the electrolyte layer, opposite the anode layer. The electrolyte layer may include a plant-based conductive hydrogel and/or a PEDOT collagen matrix. The anode and/or the cathode layer may comprise metallic vesicles secreted by a plant.
