From the Instituto Tecnológico de la Energía (ITE) we have the objective of facilitating the process of sustainable and efficient energy transition to companies and society.

ENERGYM CELL 

ENERGYM CELL 

Biopile for sports monitoring 

Description

ENERGYM CELL, aims to develop new methods of clean energy generation to contribute to the growing trend of decentralized personal monitoring, which requires materials with improved flexibility, conductivity and biocompatibility features for integration into the user’s daily life. During the life of the project, different methods of deposition/imprinting of materials on flexible substrates will be evaluated for the generation of electrodes with the aforementioned properties. Subsequently, these conductive substrates will undergo chemical and/or biological modification to obtain electrodes that can be applied to energy harvesting strategies for enzymatic sweat biopiles. Thus, electrodes with potential for integration in wearable or portable monitoring systems will be obtained, which may be useful not only to develop energy harvesting systems but also in future sensor systems for personal monitoring.

Objectives

Design of a biopile prototype adapted to the use of sweat as fuel for energy harvesting in sports monitoring.
