“ In the medical sector, we have multiple confidential deals. For example, we signed a contract to create smart bandages that integrate energy and electronics to measure humidity, pH and other factors directly within the wound. This allows users to know when to change the bandage and if any issues arise. Additionally, our energy source is the safest option for this application, as lithium or zinc manganese can be dangerous near an open wound. Our idea is to develop a bandage that is almost the same as a standard one but incorporates an energy source and electronics. This concept can also be applied to lot of medical devices, making them smart,” Alexandre elaborates.
For the remainder of 2025, BeFC will focus on research and development to further enhance its biofuel cells and prolong their lifespan.“ Our objective is to achieve at least one month of reliable performance by the end of this year,” Alexandre says.“ Equally, we seek to improve the overall
design of the product for easier integration; the thinner it is, the better. Nonetheless, extending lifespan remains our top priority. In less than six months, we have already doubled the lifespan of our biofuel cells, so we are just at the beginning of what we can achieve with this technology. Every day, we experiment with new enzymes, sugars, and other components, constantly learning and innovating. All in all, I am confident that we will make a significant breakthrough in the future regarding lifespan. If we can create a solution that lasts for years, we could replace lithium batteries in countless IoT devices,” he ends.
BeFC’ s revolutionary biofuel cell technology, rooted in decades of innovative research, positions the company as a pioneer transforming the future of sustainable energy and electronics. ■
