Introduction
• A bio battery is an energy storing device that is powered by organic
compounds, usually being glucose, such as the glucose in human
blood.
• When enzymes in human bodies break down glucose, several
electrons and protons are released. Therefore by receiving energy
from glucose.
Types of bio battery:
• PASSIVE SYSTEM TYPE :
In this type reactive substances are absorbed into the electrodes
through a process of natural diffusion.
• ACTIVE SYSTEM TYPE:
In this type the reactive substances are introduced by force as
string convention.
HOW DOES IT WORK???
• Like any cell battery, bio battery contain an anode, cathode, separator
and electrolyte with each component layered on top of another .this
system as a whole allows for a flow of protons(H+) and electrons (e-)
which ultimately generates electricity .
ROLE OF GLUCOSE:
• Bio batteries are heavily based on the amount of glucose available
This glucose can be provided from anything including soda, waste
materials (old papers)or the glucose in living organisms. The
decomposition of materials to glucose is the main step in cycle
started, through the process of ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSIS. once glucose
is present, oxygen and other enzymes can act on it to further produce
protons and electrons.
MECHANISM OF BIO BATTERY:
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:
ADVANTAGES
.Instant recharge
• Eco friendly and portable
• Raw material available easily and in large quantity
• Provide a better employement scope for rural area
DISADVANTAGES
Compared to conventional batteries,bio batteries are less likely to
retain most of their energies.
.It causes a problem in long term usage and storage.
FUTURE SCOPE:
• Bio batteries have a very bright future ahead of them as a test
productions and research have been increasing over recent years.
• They serve as a new form of energy that is providing to be ecofriendly,as well as successfulin producing and reserving energy.
• Several resarches and engineers are working to further advance the
development of these batteries.
CONCLUSION:
The bio batteries are high performing,stable,and technology developed
over last 5 years.
The bio batteries are environmental friendly as they did not use
harmful chemicals ar metals.with in mind,scientists seem to be
exploring every possible option in bio-battery and fuel-cell technology.
