As electronic waste continues to pose critical environmental challenges, Biodegradable Electronic Materials and Devices addresses the urgent need for biodegradable alternatives that decompose into non-toxic byproducts. This book considers biodegradable polymers, semiconductors, sensors, energy harvesters, batteries, and transducers, highlighting the necessity for environmentally friendly materials and devices.

The volume includes detailed chapters on biodegradable insulating materials, semiconductors, degradation mechanisms, energy harvesters such as nanogenerators, energy storage systems including supercapacitors and batteries, and various sensors and actuators. Additionally, it includes lifecycle assessment and artificial intelligence applications for designing biodegradable materials.

The book clearly distinguishes between partially and fully biodegradable devices, in the process debunking common misconceptions in the field. It sheds light on the potential of biodegradable electronics to revolutionize next-generation devices, all while mitigating environmental harm. The focus on real-world applications and environmental impact equips readers with essential tools for advancing eco-friendly electronic technologies.
