To apply the technology to human beings, electrical performance should be characterized using human skin covering the subdermal solar cells. In this paper, we present electrical performance results (up to 9.05 mW/cm) of the implantable solar cell array under 59 human skin samples isolated from 10 cadavers.
We report electrical properties of the solar cell under isolated human skin. Electricity of the subdermal solar cell depends on thickness and tone of the skin. Subdermal solar cells can supply sustainable energy to medical implants. Medical electronic implants can significantly improve people's health and quality of life.
Further studies with greater numbers of fresh human skin samples can help statistically estimate the electrical performance of implanted solar microcell arrays with respect to race, age, gender and other factors.
In this paper, we present electrical performance results (up to 9.05 mW/cm) of the implantable solar cell array under 59 human skin samples isolated from 10 cadavers. The results indicate that the power densities depend on the thickness and tone of the human skin, e.g., higher power was generated under thinner and brighter skin.
The electrical power density generated under isolated human skin samples by the flexible solar microcells is in the range of sub-to several milliwatts per square centimeter, although the power density depends on skin thickness and tone.
Subdermal flexible solar microcell arrays designed to be mechanically more compatible with skin also generated electricity to power electronic implants in mouse models ( Song et al., 2016).
