Bio-Battery:Research at the Intersection
between Bio, Energy, and Defense
Solution: CFDRC’s Bio-Battery
CFDRC’s Bio-Battery
Uses enzymes to convert sugar directly into electrical energy
Optimization of nanocomposite electrode, fuel source, and prototype design give
state of the art performance
Enzymes extracted from microorganisms
How it Works
Non-covalent/covalent tether (linker) molecule
Multi-copper oxidase(Bilirubin Oxidase)
Multi-walled Carbon nanotube

Enzymes immobilized in Carbon Nanotube based electrode
Nanocomposite electrodes integrated with fuel cell hardware
Advantages
High Energy Density (size/weight)
Readily-Available Fuel(instant recharge)
Renewable Biocatalysts
Advantages: High Energy Density w/Instant Refueling (Mobility)
~2500 Wh/kg
~130 Wh/kg
~250 Wh/kg
~2 min to Refuel
~Tethered to wall for ~2hrs
Advantages: Fuel Flexibility
