| Summary, etc. |
The rapid advancement of biomedical devices has sparked a growing need for power sources that<br/>are not only efficient, but also sustainable, capable of functioning in diverse physiological<br/>environments. It is in light of this demand that our study introduces a design, fabrication, and<br/>characterization of novel bilayer polyelectrolyte films, specifically targeted at enabling<br/>heterogeneous moisture-enabled energy generation in biomedical devices. The proposed bilayer<br/>is composed of two distinct layers - the polycationic and polyanionic layers. These layers are<br/>meticulously constructed, one layer at a time, and are sandwiched between copper electrodes.<br/>The underlying principle of operation lies in the diffusion of charges across the opposing layers<br/>upon water adsorption. To evaluate the efficacy of the device, electrical characterization of the<br/>bilayer polyelectrolyte films is conducted, revealing the efficiency of the device. SEM analysis<br/>further demonstrates the diffusion of charges within the opposite layers. In order to<br/>comprehensively assess the performance of the HMEG, various parameters are considered,<br/>including the stacking layers of polyelectrolytes, the thickness of the bilayer polyelectrolyte<br/>films, the device area, relative humidity, temperature, and electric resistance. The endurance of<br/>HMEG devices is meticulously evaluated under mechanical deformations, serving as a testament<br/>to their remarkable robustness for potential biomedical applications. This assessment showcases<br/>the resilience and durability of these devices, indicating their suitability for demanding medical<br/>settings. Moreover, the investigation into the reversibility of electricity generation in HMEG<br/>sheds light on its reliability and repeatability, further bolstering the credibility of this energy<br/>harvesting approach. The findings not only underscore the promising nature of HMEG<br/>technology but also emphasize its potential for facilitating sustainable energy solutions in the<br/>biomedical field. This study makes a significant contribution to the realm of biomedical energy<br/>harvesting by introducing a pioneering approach that harnesses moisture-enabled energy<br/>generation using bilayer polyelectrolyte films. |
