Evonik has plans to sell off its printable battery technology – Taettooz to Innovation Lab with an aim to commercialize the technology which can be used in the medical field for more convenient monitoring of vital functions.

Essen/Germany – Evonik is selling the Taettooz materials technology for printable rechargeable batteries to the Innovation Lab. The Innovation Lab specializes in the development of printed and organic electronics and offers individual overall solutions from the first concept draft to industrial production. Creavis, as the strategic innovation unit and business incubator of Evonik, has developed the Taettooz technology.

Redox polymers form the basis of the printable rechargeable batteries. The new materials can be processed into very thin, flexible battery cells using common printing processes. In the process, they allow developers a high degree of design freedom. In addition, battery cells manufactured with Taettooz technology do not contain liquid electrolytes and therefore cannot leak.

The company has previously cooperated with Innovation Lab to develop new applications for materials technology. Dr. Michael Kröger, Managing Director at Innovation Lab, is very pleased with the development: "The technology enables more efficient supply chains and innovative wearable devices for medical diagnostics. We are very confident that we will successfully commercialize the technology independently at the Innovation Lab. "Dr. Michael Korell, responsible for the development of Taettooz at Evonik, said: "The technology has great potential that can be utilized in the best possible way under the leadership of Innovation Lab, which focuses on printed and organic electronics."

The Taettooz technology offers new possibilities for the increasing networking of everyday objects, the so-called ‘Internet of Things’. When it is ready for commercial production, it can be used in the medical field for more convenient monitoring of vital functions. In addition, sensors with printed batteries can be used in the field of logistics to monitor sensitive goods.
