Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of in vivo energy device technology, and more specifically, to a mitochondrial-inspired implantable magnesium-oxygen bio-battery and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Over the past decade, implantable bioelectronic devices such as pacemakers, implantable biosensors, intelligent drug delivery systems, and artificial organs for disease treatment, physiological monitoring, and human enhancement have experienced rapid development. Simultaneously, developing in vivo energy devices that match the size of these devices is crucial; ideal in vivo energy devices should simultaneously possess high energy density, safety, and small size. The primary power source for implantable electronic devices is lithium-ion batteries, such as lithium-iodine batteries and lithium-carbon fluoride batteries. However, the low energy density and large size of these batteries hinder the miniaturization of implantable electronic devices. Furthermore, the presence of toxic substances in the electrodes and electrolytes necessitates stringent packaging, further increasing battery size and posing safety risks during implantation. Therefore, attention has been paid to other implantable batteries, such as primary batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and supercapacitors. However, the energy density of these batteries remains far below the requirements for practical applications.

[0003] Magnesium-oxygen bio-batteries are aqueous batteries with high theoretical energy density, capable of generating electricity from oxygen in bodily fluids. Although numerous studies have attempted to develop magnesium-oxygen bio-batteries and successfully achieved in vitro discharge in simulated bodily fluid environments (such as phosphate-buffered saline solutions), in vivo application remains challenging. On one hand, bodily fluids contain a large number of cells and proteins, which readily adsorb and adhere to the implanted bio-battery surface, forming a biofouling layer that hinders oxygen transport; the reactive magnesium anode is also easily corroded by water in the bodily fluids, leading to significant capacity loss. These factors result in a significant reduction in the performance of the bio-battery after implantation. On the other hand, implanting magnesium-oxygen bio-batteries into a living organism may trigger foreign body reactions, and the exchange of substances between the battery and the organism during discharge may also raise safety concerns.

[0004] In related technologies, such as patent document CN110099716B, an implantable medical device comprising a battery cell is disclosed. The battery cell includes: an anode; a cathode containing fluorinated carbon particles; a spacer between the anode and cathode; and an electrolyte in contact with the anode, cathode, and spacer. More than 50% by volume of the fluorinated carbon particles have a particle size ranging from 2 micrometers to 10 micrometers, and more than 50% by quantity of the fluorinated carbon particles have an aspect ratio of 1:1.2 to 1:8. However, this solution does not provide any technical guidance on how to achieve high energy density and good biocompatibility of batteries in vivo, a problem present in related technologies.

[0005] In summary, how to develop implantable batteries with high energy density and good biocompatibility is a problem that needs to be solved by existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0006] 1. Technical problems to be solved To address the challenge of developing implantable batteries with high energy density and good biocompatibility in existing technologies, this invention provides a mitochondrial-inspired implantable magnesium-oxygen bio-battery and its preparation method. This not only effectively prevents corrosion of the magnesium anode but also resists biocontamination, ensuring continuous oxygen transport and further improving energy density. Simultaneously, it reduces foreign body reactions, opening up a new direction for the development of high-performance implantable energy devices in biomedical applications.

[0010] Furthermore, the polished magnesium wire is cleaned with anhydrous ethanol, then immersed in an inner membrane precursor solution to coat the electrode surface. The solution is then dried at 50℃~80℃ for 5min~20min to remove residual solvent and form a uniform inner membrane, thus obtaining an inner membrane modified battery negative electrode.

[0011] Furthermore, the specific steps for preparing the outer film-modified battery cathode are as follows: Dissolve 0.5g~1g of potassium chloride and 30mg~60mg of potassium chloroplatinate in 50mL~200mL of deionized water to obtain potassium chloride-potassium chloroplatinate precipitation solution; A carbon nanotube film was used as the working electrode, a platinum electrode as the counter electrode, and a silver-silver chloride electrode as the reference electrode. A voltage of 0.5V was applied to the working electrode. A constant potential step wave of 0.7V was applied for 10 seconds, and the cycle was repeated 50 to 400 times to obtain the positive electrode of a platinum-loaded carbon nanotube battery.

[0012] Furthermore, 0.05 g to 0.2 g of Tris-HCl was dissolved in 50 mL to 150 mL of deionized water, and a Tris-HCl buffer solution with a pH of 8 to 9 was prepared by adjusting the solution with concentrated hydrochloric acid. Dissolve 0.1g~0.5g of dopamine in 50mL~200mL of Tris-HCl buffer solution to obtain a Tris-HCl buffer solution containing dopamine. Platinum-loaded carbon nanotube battery cathode was immersed in a Tris-HCl buffer solution containing dopamine and shaken at room temperature for 18-30 hours to obtain polydopamine-modified platinum-loaded carbon nanotube battery cathode.

[0013] Furthermore, chloroform with a volume of 50 mL to 150 mL and ethanol with a volume of 0.5 mL to 2 mL are mixed to obtain a chloroform-ethanol solvent; Add 50 mg to 150 mg of phosphatidylethanolamine and 0.5 mg to 2 mg of sodium hydroxide to chloroform-ethanol solvent to obtain a phosphatidylethanolamine solution; The positive electrode of a platinum-loaded carbon nanotube battery modified with polydopamine was immersed in a phosphatidylethanolamine solution at room temperature and shaken for 36-60 hours, and then dried at room temperature to obtain the positive electrode of a platinum-loaded carbon nanotube battery modified with phosphatidylethanolamine.

[0014] Furthermore, 50 mg to 150 mg of phosphatidylcholine is dissolved in 50 mL to 150 mL of chloroform to obtain a phosphatidylcholine solution. A 50µL–200µL phosphatidylcholine solution was drop-coated onto the outer surface of the film, with an outer surface area of ​​0.25cm². 2 The carbon nanotube battery cathode with platinum loading and outer film modified was soaked in deionized water at room temperature for 36-60 hours and then dried at room temperature to obtain the cathode.

[0015] Furthermore, the specific steps for preparing the electrolyte precursor solution are as follows: Under conditions of 90°C to 100°C, 0.1 g to 1 g of polyvinyl alcohol is dissolved in 1 mL to 10 mL of deionized water to obtain a polyvinyl alcohol solution; Dissolve 0.05 g to 0.2 g of sodium gluconate in 0.5 mL to 1.5 mL of deionized water to obtain a sodium gluconate solution; Under continuous stirring, 0.5 mL to 2 mL of sodium gluconate solution was added to 2 mL to 10 mL of polyvinyl alcohol solution to obtain an electrolyte precursor solution.

[0016] Furthermore, the specific steps for preparing a magnesium-oxygen bio-battery are as follows: The inner membrane-modified battery negative electrode was immersed in an electrolyte precursor solution, and then dried at 50℃~80℃ for 20min~50min to allow the electrolyte precursor solution to gel in situ on the inner membrane-modified battery negative electrode. By wrapping the outer membrane-modified platinum-loaded carbon nanotube battery positive electrode around the treated battery negative electrode-inner membrane-electrolyte, a high-energy-density implantable magnesium-oxygen bio-battery mimicking mitochondria is obtained.

[0017] The mitochondrial-inspired implantable magnesium-oxygen bio-battery prepared according to the above-described method comprises an inner membrane-modified negative electrode, an electrolyte, and an outer membrane-modified positive electrode. The inner membrane-modified negative electrode, the electrolyte, and the outer membrane-modified positive electrode are arranged from the inside out, and are coaxially arranged.

Beneficial effects Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: It employs a mitochondrial-inspired double-membrane structure design, with a magnesium wire as the negative electrode, a polyvinyl alcohol-sodium gluconate gel as the electrolyte, and a platinum-loaded carbon nanotube film as the positive electrode. The inner membrane is composed of a highly hydrophobic polymer, which significantly reduces water permeability and effectively prevents corrosion of the magnesium negative electrode. The outer membrane is composed of a phospholipid layer with zwitterionic groups, exhibiting good biocompatibility and high oxygen permeability, resisting biofouling and ensuring continuous oxygen transport. This double-membrane design further improves energy density while reducing foreign body reactions, ultimately enabling the magnesium-oxygen bio-battery to exhibit high performance and good biocompatibility after implantation.

[0047] like Figure 7 As shown, within two months post-implantation, there were no significant differences in blood parameters between the magnesium-oxygen battery pack with the double-layer membrane and the control group, indicating that the battery has good biocompatibility and is safe for in vivo application. In contrast, some parameters of the magnesium-oxygen battery pack without the double-layer membrane showed abnormalities.

[0048] The double-layer membrane structure used in this design not only effectively protects the magnesium anode from corrosion, but also resists contamination from cells and proteins in body fluids, enhances the biocompatibility of the cathode in the biological environment, ensures continuous oxygen transport, and reduces foreign body reactions. This enables the mitochondrial-inspired implantable magnesium-oxygen bio-battery to achieve high energy density and good biocompatibility in vivo.
