Bio batteries are heavily based on the amount of GLUCOSE
available.
•Materials can be converted into glucose anode through the
process of enzymatic hydrolysis.
10. •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 electric energy by creating proton (H+) and electron
(e-) flow in the cell system.

SUITABILITY TO INDIAN SCENARIOSUITABILITY TO INDIAN SCENARIO
• About 10000 million liters of wastewater is generated in India every day and
the cost of treatment is also high.
• Therefore this method of treating wastewater and obtaining power at the
same time will be a very useful one for rural India as well as urban areas
which generate lot of wastewater.
