BIO BATTERY 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.
TYPES OF BIOBATTERY
PASSIVE TYPE A system in which the reactive substances such glucose & oxygen are supplied to the electrodes by a process of natural diffusion.
ACTIVE TYPE A system in which the reactive substances are supplied by force are known as active type system.
COMPONENTS OF BIO-BATTERY
Bio-batteries 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. 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.

SONY BIO-BATTERY
Sony successfully demonstrated bio battery powered music playback with a memory type Walkman and passive speakers (which operate on power supplied by the Walkman) by connecting four bio battery units in series. The case of this bio battery, which is made from an organic plastic (polylactate), is designed to be reminiscent of a living cell.
