Innovation Lab specializes in the development of printed and organic electronics and offers complete individual solutions from first idea to industrial production. The basis of printable and rechargeable batteries are redox polymers. the new The material can be processed into ultra-thin, flexible battery cells using standard printing processes. It allows the developer a high degree of design freedom. In addition, battery cells manufactured with Taettooz technology do not contain liquid electrolytes and therefore cannot leak.

More efficient supply chains and innovative mobile devices

With the growing network of everyday things, the so-called “Internet of Things”, Taettooz technology offers new possibilities. When ready for serial production, they can be used in the medical field for further appropriate monitoring of vital functions. In addition, sensors with printed batteries can be used in logistics to monitor sensitive goods. Dr. Michael Krueger, General Manager at Innovation Lab, is very satisfied with the development: “Among other things, the technology enables more efficient supply chains and innovative portable devices for medical diagnosis.”

This technology was developed by Creavis, Evonik’s strategic innovation unit and business incubator. I previously collaborated with Innovation Lab to develop new application possibilities for materials technology. In the future, Creavis will focus more on concepts of resource saving and sustainable production as well as high growth solutions that enable industries to become independent of fossil raw materials.
