Biobattery
A bio-battery is an energy storing device that is powered by organic compounds, usually being glucose, such as the glucose in human blood. When enzymes in human bodies break down glucose , several electrons and protons are released. Therefore, by using enzymes to break down glucose, bio-batteries directly receive energy from glucose . These batteries then store this energy for later use. [1] This concept is almost identical to how both plants and animal obtain energy. Although the batteries are still being tested before being commercially sold, several research teams and engineer are working to further advance the development of this batteries.

structure
Like any cell battery, bio-batteries contain and anode, cathode, separator and electrolyte with each component 0n top of another, Anodes and cathodes are negatives and positive area on a battery that allow electrons to follow in and out. The anode is located at the top of the battery and the cathode is located at the bottom of the battery. [1] anode allowed to flow electrons in from outside of the battery,where' s cathodes, allowed current flow out from battery.
Between the anode and the cathode lies the electrolyte a separator. the main function of the separator is to keep the cathode and anode separated to avoid the electrical short circuits. this system as a whole allows for a flow protons [H+] and electrons [e+] which ultimately generates electricity[2]
Glucose
bio-batteries are heavily based on the amount of glucose available on the amount of glucose [sugar] can be provided nearly anything, including soda west materials [such]as old paper ] or the glucose in living organisms. [3]The decomposition of materials to glucose in the main step getting the cycle started . materials can be converted into glucose through the process enzymatic hydrolysis. enzymatic hydrolysis is the process in which cellulose [an insoluble substance] is converted to glucose by the addition of enzymes [4]once glucose is present,and other enzymes can act on it to further produce protons and electrons.
process
similar to how human bodies convert to energy using enzymes, bio-batteries use enzymes to convert glucose into energy. [1]When glucose first enters the batteries, it enters through the anode the sugar is broke down , producing both electrons and protons.
Glucose-gluconolactone+2h+ +2e-
these electrons and protons produced now play an important role in creating energy. They travel through the mediator to get to the cathode. [1]on the other hands, protons are redirected to go through the separator to get to the cathode side of a battery.(2)
the cathode then consists of oxidation-reduction. [1] This reaction uses the protons and electrons, with the addition of oxygen gas to produce water
there is a flow created from the anode to the cathode which is which what generates the electricity in the bio-battery [1]the flow the electrons and protons in the system are what create this generation of electricity.
