 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 portable
power source.
 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 reactions at the anode and cathode generate

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
batteries.
