Bio Battery

Bio batteries generate electricity from renewable organic compounds like glucose through enzymatic reactions, avoiding the need for recharging. The first bio battery was announced in 2007 by Sony, using enzymes to catalyze the breakdown of carbohydrates into protons, electrons, and water. Bio batteries have advantages like constant recharging through a sugar supply, but disadvantages include lower energy retention compared to lithium batteries which impacts long-term usage and energy storage.

WHAT IS BIO BATTERY??


A bio-battery is an energy storing device that is powered by organic compounds. Bio-Battery generates electricity from renewable fuels (glucose, sucrose, fructose, etc) providing a sustained, on-demand

TYPES OF BIO BATTERY


PASSIVE SYSTEM TYPE
A system in which reactive substances are absorbed in to the electrodes through a process of natural diffusion

ACTIVE SYSTEM TYPE


In this type reactive substances are introduced by force by some means

FIRST BIO BATTERY


On August 23, 2007 Sony announced the development of a bio battery that generates electrical energy from carbohydrates using enzymes as catalysts through the application of power generation principles used in living organisms.

HOW IT WORKS

Between the anode and the cathode lies the electrolyte which contains a separator. The main function of the separator is to keep the cathode and anode separated, to avoid electrical short circuits. This system as a whole allows for a flow of protons (H+) and electrons (e-) which ultimately generate electricity. Glucose is broken down on the anode side of the battery, producing protons (H+) and electrons (e-). The protons (H+) are transferred to the cathode side through the separator, while the electrons (e-) are transported to the cathode side through the mediator, which transfers them to the external circuit. The cathode uses the enzymes to drive an oxygen-reduction reaction which ultimately produces water using both the protons (H+) and the electrons (e-) transferred from the anode. These

BIO BATTERY TEST CELL SPECIFICATIONS


Dimensions: 39*39*39 mm

Volume: 40 cc (without casing)


Max Output: 50 mW

ADVANTAGES
A significant advantage that bio-batteries have in comparison to other batteries is their ability to allow an instant recharge. In other words through a constant supply of sugar, or glucose, bio batteries are able to continuously keep themselves charged without an external power supply with high fuel flexibility like sugar, alcohol, diesel, ethanol, blood etc

DISADVANTAGES
Compared to conventional batteries, such as lithium batteries, bio batteries are less likely to retain their most of the energy.

This causes a problem when it comes to long term usage and storage of energy for these
