Canada has developed a groundbreaking biodegradable battery made entirely from tree pulp, offering a clean alternative to traditional lithium-ion batteries. Unlike conventional batteries that contribute to electronic waste and contain toxic heavy metals, this innovation is designed to fully dissolve in soil without leaving harmful residues.
The battery works by converting cellulose from wood pulp into conductive material capable of storing and releasing energy. While its energy capacity is currently lower than commercial batteries, it could be perfect for short-term applications such as medical sensors, wearable devices, or temporary electronics. More importantly, it sets the stage for a future where energy storage does not harm the environment.
With electronic waste becoming a major global problem, biodegradable batteries could drastically reduce pollution and resource depletion. This innovation proves that sustainability and technology can go hand in hand, paving the way for cleaner energy storage solutions.
