Title: Miniaturized Batteries for the Smallest Applications

Content:

• What are microbatteries?
• The challenges of microbattery development
• Research project Sens4Bee & insect monitoring with a microbattery, RFID and sensors
• Hearing aids with microbatteries

Microbatteries are just between 1 and 10 millimeters wide and between 0.25 and 2 millimeters thick – sometimes they are even smaller! This makes them suitable for applications where the smallest batteries are required, for example for implants in healthcare.

Dr. Robert Hahn explains the technical details on the production process, performance and comparisons with conventional batteries, and provides information on next-generation battery materials. Potential microbattery applications in agriculture, medical technology and industry are covered.
