Terminology
Terms Meaning
Energy Density
Amount of energy stored per weight (Wh/kg) Energy stored determined how long it can power device. For example :Lithium has energy density of 250Wh/kg ,while sugar 2500Wh/kgThis means if 1 kg Li can power laptop for 1 day, sugar can power laptop for 10 days=Total volume of water inside bucket
Power Density
Amount of power (energy/time) per unit volumeDifferent from energy density, it determined how much energy burst can be given to device in one second or rate of energy transfer=Total water can be throw at same time

Bio-Battery Technology A bio battery is an energy storing device powered by organic
compounds, usually being glucose.
By using enzymes to break down glucose, bio-batteries directly receive energy from glucose

Bio batteries contain an anode, cathode, separator and electrolyte.
In the anode the sugar(glucose) is broken down through enzymatic oxidation, producing both electrons and protons. When glucose first enters the battery, it enters through the anode.
Glucose → Gluconolactone+ 2H+ + 2e−
There is a flow created from the anode to the cathode which is what generates the electricity in the bio-battery
Protons(H⁺) are redirected to go through the separator to get to the cathode side of the battery
The cathode then consists of an oxidation reduction reaction. O2 +4H+ + 4e− → 2H2O
Bio-Battery required Bio-Catalyst or Enzyme for chemical reactions in Anode and Cathodethat produce electricity

Bio-Battery Development Progress
By May 2012, power density reached 9mW/cm2 and 35 mA/cm2
Performance improvement was due to better structure of carbon nanotube with better enzymes attached to

Bio-Battery Power Performance
In 2013, Researchers at the University ofWollongong-headquartered AustralianResearch Council Centre of Excellence forElectromaterials Science (ACES) designedone prototype which can provide the powerof 36mW for at least 30 hours, making itsuitable as a power source for mostimplantable devices (see table).
Sony Corporation in 2008: bio-batteriesusing Vitamin K3 for the anode andpotassium ferricyanide for the cathode,which generated power outputs in theorder of 50mW, enough to supply anMP3 portable player.
