HISTORY :
The first enzyme-based bio-fuel
cell was reported only in 1964
using glucose oxidize (GOx) as the
anodic catalyst and glucose as
the bio-fuel.
Even though the Bio fuel cells
have been known for almost a
century since the first microbial
BFC(Bio fuel cells) was
demonstrated in 1912.
biological processes can be used
to generate electricity for
powering electrical equipment.

PRESENT :

Besides bio fuel energies ,Presently we

are using many types of energies.

Namely wind energy , solar energies ,

thermal energies.

In different technologies we use diff

types of batteries namely Lithium
cadmium battery, Nickel battery etc.

Though we have many types of Batteries

BIO BATTERY has many advantages
over other and is also 100% eco friendly.

BIO BATTERY
A bio-battery is an energy
storage
device
that
is
powered
by
organic
compounds usually being
glucose such as glucose in
human blood.

INTRODUCTION

Bio-Battery generates electricity from renewable fuels (glucose,

sucrose, fructose, etc ) providing a sustained, on-demand portable
power source.

When enzymes in our bodies break down glucose, several

electrons and protons are released.

Therefore, by using enzymes to breakdown glucose, bio-batteries

directly receive energy from glucose.

These batteries then store this energy for later use.

Bio battery use biocatalyst, either biomolecules such as enzymes or

even whole living organism to catalyze oxidation of bio mass-based
materials for generating electrical energy.

PRINCIPLE OF BIO BATTERY

A Bio-Battery battery consists of two
different metals suspended in an acidic
solution.
They contain an anode, cathode,
separator and electrolyte, which are the
basic components to any cell battery.
Each component is layered on top of
another
component.
Anodes
and
cathodes are the negative and positive
areas on a battery.
The anode is located at the top of the
battery and the cathode is located at the
bottom of the battery.
Anodes are components that allow
electrons to flow in from outside the
battery, whereas cathodes are devices
that allow current to flow out from the
battery.

MECHANISM OF BIO BATTERY

How it Works

GLUCOSE:
Bio batteries are heavily based on the
amount of glucose available.
This glucose (sugar) can be provided from
nearly anything, including soda, waste
materials
or the glucose in living
organisms.
The decomposition of materials to glucose
is the main step in getting the cycle
started.
Once glucose is present, oxygen and other
enzymes can act on it to further produce
protons and electrons.

WORKING OF BIO BATTERY :

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 oxygenreduction
reaction
which
ultimately produces water
using both the protons (H+)
and
the
electrons
(e-)
transferred from the anode.

These reactions at the anode

and cathode generate electric
energy by creating proton
(H+) and electron (e-) flow in
the cell system.

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.

The movement of protons has a

moving force that pushes, this
movement is called current. When
this moving force (current) is
measured.

NEED OF BIO-BATTERY
An electricity shortage is felt most by those who depend on electricity
for heating,cooking, andwater supply.
In these circumstances, a sustained energy crisis may become
ahumanitarian crisis.
As it is known that the energy conservation is the major issue these
times so the bio-battery is one of the energy conservation method.
It can save a lot of power and it is also energy efficient phenomenon.
Bio-Battery is a renewableenergy sourcewhich is again the major
requirement of current energy system.

TYPES OF BIO BATTERY

Passive system type
A system in which reactive substances are absorbed
in to the electrodes through a process of natural
diff usion.

Active type system

In this type the reactive substance are introduced
by force by
technique as string ,convection .

DISADVANTAGES:

Compared to conventional batteries, such as

lithium batteries, bio-batteries are less likely
to retain most of their energy.

This causes a problem when it comes to

long term usage and storage of energy for
these batteries.

However, researchers are continuing to

develop the battery in order to make it a
more practical replacement for current
batteries and sources of energy.

FUTURE SCOPE
Bio-batteries have a very bright future ahead of them
as test productions and research have been increasing
over recent years.
They serve as a new form of energy that is proving to
be environmentally friendly, as well as successful, in
producing and reserving energy.
Although the batteries are still being tested before
being commercially sold, several research teams and
engineers are working to further advance the
development of these batteries.

WE CAN imagine using

a bottle of Coke to
recharge batteries in
the future although we
would still prefer solar
Powered chargers as
you can't really find a
bottle of Coke
everywhere, but the
sun is there always

CONCLUSION
The Bio batteries are High performing, stable.
Even so, Bio battery the small, flexible, long lasting and
environmentally friendly battery technologies discussed
here show the great possibilities researchers see in biobatteries, especially for the field of medicine.
This causes a problem when it comes to long term usage
and storage of energy for these batteries. However,
researchers are continuing to develop the battery in order to
make it a more practical replacement for current batteries
and sources of energy.
