The pyroelectric effect has been rarely considered as a pathway toward portable electric power. Now, in a study published in Cell Reports Physical Science, Hanrahan et al. show chip-based pyroelectric combustion that has the potential to supersede Li-ion battery technology in terms of energy density and device lifetime.
