biobattery

A biobattery is an energy storing device that is powered by organic compounds. Although the batteries have never been commercially sold, they are still being tested, and several research teams and engineers are working to further advance the development of these batteries.

== Workings == Like any battery, bio-batteries consist of an anode, cathode, separator, and electrolyte with each component layered on top of another. Anodes and cathodes are the positive and negative areas on a battery that allow electrons to flow in and out. The anode is located at the top of the battery and the cathode is located at the bottom of the battery. Anodes allow conventional current to flow in from outside the battery, whereas cathodes allow conventional current to flow out from the battery. As conventional current is opposite to electron flow, this means that cathodes allow electrons to flow into the battery and anodes allow electrons to flow out of the battery.
