Sugar-powered biobattery
Sugar-powered biobattery has 10 times the energy storage of lithium: Your smartphone might soon run on enzymes . As we already know that, sugar — glucose, fructose, sucrose, dextrose — is an excellent source of energy. There is a reason why almost every living cell on Earth generates its energy from glucose. Now, researchers at Virginia Tech have successfully created a sugar-powered fuel cell that has an energy density of 600 amp-hours per kilo — or “one order of magnitude” higher than lithium-ion batteries. The energy is clean (water is the only waste product) and very cheap to produce. Also , the energy produced is cheap and environment friendly. The Energy produced is long lasting and does not need electricity for charging. It does not produce any pollutants as by-product.
