A new biological battery based on bacteria has been created in the United States

Located in New York State University of Binhamton Experts have created a battery based on bacteria. The created battery can produce electricity for several weeks. The battery has 3 layers of different bacteria. These bacteria support each other’s life activities for a long time. This is the main feature of this energy battery. Professor at the University of Binhamton Seokheun Choi biological batteries has been dealing with for a long time. His list includes a large number of bacterial-based paper battery projects.

However, these projects have one common disadvantage. So they were able to work in a short time. In his new research, the professor set out to create a battery that could last a long time by combining several types of bacteria that have the ability to support each other. Thus, as a result of research conducted by the professor, a 3-layer battery was created. The top layer of the battery contains light-sensitive bacteria. As a result of exposure to light, these bacteria secrete organic compounds, which are transmitted to bacteria in the middle layer.

Bacteria in the middle layer, in turn, secrete organic compounds, which are transmitted to the bacteria in the lower layer. Bacteria in the lower layer produce electricity by feeding on these organic compounds. 3 square cm An experimental biological battery with a field was able to generate electricity for several weeks. It is clear that such energy elements can ensure the operation of small sensors and electronic devices.
