What is a Bio-Battery?
It is a battery in which power is generated by biological sources like bacteria extracted from waste water.
What are its significance?
- Bio-battery is cheap and can be easily manufactured as power source for medical sensors in remote and developing areas.
- In this case, the power is generated by common bacteria found in wastewater. Thus it store power generated by organic compounds.
- The simple components are needed to make these kinds of paper-based batteries. This makes them a reliable backup in places where grid electricity or conventional batteries aren’t available.
