    Eco-friendly, biodegradable batteries made from lemon-like acids could soon be powering wearable devices and medical implants.

    The battery bends, stretches and naturally breaks down in the environment.

    The researchers behind it, from Canada’s McGill University’ in Montreal, aim to reduce the massive battery waste piling up around the world.

    Electrical and computer engineering associate professor Sharmistha Bhadra who supervised the study, said: “We use a lot of batteries in our lab for wearable devices, and they eventually stop working and get thrown out.

    “This project asked whether we could make something biodegradable and stretchable that still performs well.”

    The team focused on replacing heavy-metal electrodes used in conventional batteries with biodegradable materials while boosting performance.

    The researchers replaced these harmful components with magnesium and molybdenum, commonly used in biodegradable battery designs, which degrade more easily in the environment.

    However, earlier studies have shown that magnesium-based biodegradable batteries have lower performance than conventional batteries.

    So the researchers turned to naturally occurring citric found in citrus fruits like lemons and limes, and lactic acids which are naturally found in fermented foods like yogurt.

    When mixed with gelatine, the acids prevented the formation of that barrier and significantly improved output.

    Magnesium can generate a layer that stops the reaction between electrolyte and electrode.

    Using the citric or lactic acid acids broke down this layer increasing the battery’s lifetime and its voltage.

    Boffins have discovered a way to use concrete to store electrical energy — and it could enable structures like walls, sidewalks, and bridges to double as giant “batteries.”
    Known as electron-conducting carbon concrete of ec3 for short, it is made from various ingredients including cement, water and carbon black, a fine powder produced by the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons like petroleum.
    It also used electrolytes, minerals and salts dissolved in water which can conduct electricity.
    The carbon black forms a conductive nano network inside the concrete, allowing electricity to move through the material. 
    Storing enough energy to meet the daily needs of the average home can be achieved with about five cubic meters of ec3.
    That is about the volume of a typical basement wall.
    Lead study author , associate professor Admir Masic from the USA’s Massachusetts Institute of Technology said: “Concrete is already the world’s most-used construction material, so why not take advantage of that scale to create other benefits?”
    The improved energy on a substance which has been under development for several years, density was made possible by a deeper understanding of how the nano carbon black network inside ec3 functions and interacts with electrolytes.
    The team experimented with different electrolytes and their concentrations to see how they impacted energy storage density.
    This included seawater, which could make this a good material for use in coastal and marine applications, perhaps as support structures for offshore wind farms.
