Battery‐powered medical devices have been surgically implanted into the bodies of several million persons during the past one‐third of a century. Implantable devices have been used to treat an increasingly diverse number of conditions including cardiac arrhythmias, chronic pain, epilepsy, hearing loss, obesity, vision loss, and scoliosis. It is estimated that in the year 2004 over 500,000 heart pacemakers were implanted. A lithium primary battery powers the typical cardiac pacemaker. The reliability and the longevity of the pacemaker are determined by its design and manufacturing parameters, as well as therapy‐related variables. As battery failure results in a cessation of pacemaker output, the selection of the appropriate battery is an important step in the product development. A large number of battery designs have been developed to meet the unique requirements of implantable medical devices, ranging from the very‐low‐rate batteries that can power a pacemaker for many years, to the high‐rate batteries required for cardiac defibrillators.

Implantable bioelectronic devices (IBDs) have gained attention for their capacity to conformably detect physiological and pathological signals and further provide internal therapy. However, traditional power sources integrated into these IBDs possess intricate limitations such as bulkiness, rigidity, and biotoxicity. Recently, artificial “tissue batteries” (ATBs) have diffusely developed as artificial power sources for IBDs manufacturing, enabling comprehensive biological‐activity monitoring, diagnosis, and therapy. ATBs are on‐demand and designed to accommodate the soft and confining curved placement space of organisms, minimizing interface discrepancies, and providing ample power for clinical applications. This review presents the near‐term advancements in ATBs, with a focus on their miniaturization, flexibility, biodegradability, and power density. Furthermore, it delves into material‐screening, structural‐design, and energy density across three distinct categories of TBs, distinguished by power supply strategies. These types encompass innovative energy storage devices (chemical batteries and supercapacitors), power conversion devices that harness power from human‐body (biofuel cells, thermoelectric nanogenerators, bio‐potential devices, piezoelectric harvesters, and triboelectric devices), and energy transfer devices that receive and utilize external energy (radiofrequency‐ultrasound energy harvesters, ultrasound‐induced energy harvesters, and photovoltaic devices). Ultimately, future challenges and prospects emphasize ATBs with the indispensability of bio‐safety, flexibility, and high‐volume energy density as crucial components in long‐term implantable bioelectronic devices.
