“…Besides, signal transition remains an important issue for implanted nanogenerator systems. A low-powerconsumption wireless communication means such as Zigbee technology 330,331 and radio-frequency 332 may extend the working lifetime and reduce the surgery time. Indeed, the locating and tracking of implantable devices 333 are highly demanded in the era of Internet of Things.…”

“…[ 2,8,15–22 ] A future trend in implantable bioelectronics will shift toward soft, miniaturized, wireless, biodegradable, micro/nano‐systems with multi‐functions. Such bioelectronics typically consists of programmable circuits, communication modules, [ 23–26 ] biosensing systems, [ 27–30 ] and actuators [ 31–35 ] that require energy to accomplish the tasks for which they are designed. Requirements of the average power consumptions and voltage inputs for representative implantable bioelectronics are listed in Table 1 .…”

The emerging field of implantable bioelectronics has attracted widespread attention in modern society because it can improve treatment outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and lead to an improvement in the quality of life. However, their continuous operation is often limited by conventional bulky and rigid batteries with a limited lifespan, which must be surgically removed after completing their missions and/or replaced after being exhausted. Herein, this paper gives a comprehensive review of recent advances in nonconventional energy solutions for implantable bioelectronics, emphasizing the miniaturized, flexible, biocompatible, and biodegradable power devices. According to their source of energy, the promising alternative energy solutions are sorted into three main categories, including energy storage devices (batteries and supercapacitors), internal energy‐harvesting devices (including biofuel cells, piezoelectric/triboelectric energy harvesters, thermoelectric and biopotential power generators), and external wireless power transmission technologies (including inductive coupling/radiofrequency, ultrasound‐induced, and photovoltaic devices). Their fundamentals, materials strategies, structural design, output performances, animal experiments, and typical biomedical applications are also discussed. It is expected to offer complementary power sources to extend the battery lifetime of bioelectronics while acting as an independent power supply. Thereafter, the existing challenges and perspectives associated with these powering devices are also outlined, with a focus on implantable bioelectronics.

“…As it is shown, biosensing systems typically consume less energy (<≈50 µW), where the dominant consumption likely comes from communication, analogue to digital conversion or signal amplifications and processing . Radiofrequency (RF) data transmission requires ≈10 µW to 1.5 mW . By contrast, the power needed for stimulations span a wide range, for example, 5–35 µW for pacemakers, 4.5–21 mW for muscle stimulation, while up to 40 mW for optical stimulation .…”

Implantable bioelectronics represent an emerging technology that can be integrated into the human body for diagnostic and therapeutic functions. Power supply devices are an essential component of bioelectronics to ensure their robust performance. However, conventional power sources are usually bulky, rigid, and potentially contain hazardous constituent materials. The fact that biological organisms are soft, curvilinear, and have limited accommodation space poses new challenges for power supply systems to minimize the interface mismatch and still offer sufficient power to meet clinical‐grade applications. Here, recent advances in state‐of‐the‐art nonconventional power options for implantable electronics, specifically, miniaturized, flexible, or biodegradable power systems are reviewed. Material strategies and architectural design of a broad array of power devices are discussed, including energy storage systems (batteries and supercapacitors), power devices which harvest sources from the human body (biofuel cells, devices utilizing biopotentials, piezoelectric harvesters, triboelectric devices, and thermoelectric devices), and energy transfer devices which utilize sources in the surrounding environment (ultrasonic energy harvesters, inductive coupling/radiofrequency energy harvesters, and photovoltaic devices). Finally, future challenges and perspectives are given.
