How can microfluidic energy storage and release systems be used?

Second, novel energy materials with the desired geometries and characteristics that can be fabricated via microfluidic techniques are reviewed. Third, applications enabled by such microfluidic energy storage and release systems, particularly focusing on medical, environmental, and modeling purposes, are presented.

What is a self-powering device?

These devices have integrated power sources that can store energy and release them on demand to power certain processes in the device. This capability of self-powering, when applied to the field of medical diagnostics, is very suitable for POCT settings where resources are limited.

What is the storage of energy?

The storage of energy is an active field of research and many technologies or devices have been specifically developed to store a particular form of energy.

What is a multidisciplinary approach to microfluidic energy storage and release?

It is envisioned that a multidisciplinary approach combining material science, engineering, chemistry, physics, and even biology is needed for the development of novel and practical microfluidic energy storage and release systems.

How does a battery store energy?

Batteries are one of the most common ways to store energy and it has wide applications that include electric vehicles, cell phones, laptop computers, and many others. A battery stores electrochemical energy and a typical battery are made up of four components: an anode, a cathode, an electrolyte, and a membrane that separates the cathode and anode.
