WHAT IS A BIO-BATTERY?
 A “Bio-Battery” is an energy storage device that is
powered by organic compounds usually being
glucose.
 By using enzymes to break down glucose, bio-
batteries directly receive energy from glucose.
PRINCIPLE OF BIO-BATTERY
 A Bio-Battery consists of an anode, cathode,
separator and electrolyte with each component
layered on top of another.
 Anode is located at the top and cathode at the
bottom of the battery.
 Between the anode and the cathode lies the
electrolyte which contains a separator.
 This system as a whole allows for flow of protons
and electrons which ultimately generates
electricity.
WORKING OF BIO-BATTERY
o Anodes allow current to flow in from outside the
battery, cathodes allow current to flow out from
the battery.
o In Anode sugar is broken down producing
electrons and protons.
o These Electrons travel through the electrolyte and
go to the cathode.
o Protons are redirected to go through separator to
the cathode side of the battery.
o At the cathode oxidation reduction reaction takes
place with the help of electrons and protons.
NEED OF BIO-BATTERY
 Bio-Battery is one of the energy conservation
method.
 It can save lot of power and is also energy
efficient phenomena.
 Bio-Battery is a renewable energy source which
can be profitably used.
ADVANTAGES
 Bio-Batteries have their ability to allow an instant
recharge.
 Through a constant supply of glucose Bio-Batteries
are able to continuously keep themselves charged
with an external power supply.
 They are source of non flammable, and non toxic
fuel. This provides a clean alternative renewable
power source.
 It is Eco-Friendly.
DISADVANTAGES
 Compared to non conventional batteries like
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.
APPLICATIONS
 Portable charging in cell phones.
 Disaster relief.
 Bio-Battery music playback with memory.
 Medical implants like pacemakers, Insulin pumps.
 Replacing batteries in toys and greeting cards.
 Sony successfully demonstrated bio-battery
powered music playback with a memory type
Walkman and passive speakers by connecting four
bio-batteries in series.
FUTURE SCOPE
 Bio-Batteries serve as a new form of energy that
is proving to be eco-friendly as well as successful
in producing and reserving energy.
 The batteries are still being tested before being
commercially sold and many researchers are
working to advance the development of these
batteries.
CONCLUSION
 Discovery of bio-battery led to a new era of
energy generation.
 This is Eco-Friendly and used as alternative
source.
 They are high performing, stable, flexible and
long-lasting.
