Problem
Many disposable electronic devices rely on traditional batteries that pose environmental concerns due to their materials and disposal methods. These batteries often contain toxic substances and contribute to electronic waste, creating a need for more sustainable power sources.
Solution
Fuelium develops and commercializes paper-based primary batteries as an eco-friendly alternative for single-use applications. These batteries are constructed from non-toxic, safe, and abundant materials, minimizing environmental impact and ensuring compatibility with the life cycle of the powered device. Fuelium batteries can be customized in 2D or 3D formats to fulfill the energy demands of various applications, including in-vitro diagnostics, IoT sensors, and electronic skin patches. The batteries can be liquid-activated or self-contained with a hydrogel electrolyte, and offer a high power density compared to conventional coin or printed batteries.
Target Audience
Fuelium's target audience includes manufacturers of disposable point-of-care diagnostics, IoT devices, smart packaging, environmental sensors, and electronic skin patches seeking sustainable and customizable power solutions.
