Stretchable Enzymatic Biofuel Cells Based on Microfluidic Structured Elastomeric Polydimethylsiloxane with Wrinkled Gold Electrodes

“…[ 1 ] This led to the development of various personal medical devices, such as wearable or implantable devices, to monitor, diagnose, or even cure diseases. [ 2–4 ] Most personal medical devices need power sources that supply a sufficient amount of electricity to the devices. [ 5 ] To date, lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely used for this purpose because they are small, light, and could store high density electrical energy.…”
