Although biobatteries would not single-handedly solve the challenges of next-generation energy technologies, they would certainly integrate with other emerging technologies in clean energy storage. The combined clean energy technology would support a new wave of innovations focused on end-use efficiency and demand control.
Biobatteries have gained tremendous research interest and have established themselves as a “green” energy alternative for net zero energy devices, due to their renewability, sustainability, and eco-friendly properties.
The next generation batteries pave the way for climate-neutral energy eco-programs. Going through a road of climate neutrality, the biofuel cell-based biobattery evolves as a net-zero better alternative to conventional biofuel cells. Although, this class of biobatteries is still under development stage.
Storing electrical energy in bio based batteries is one of the options for handling the rapid expansion of renewable and variable electrical energy generated in wind turbines and in solar photovoltaic systems, from small to large.
Typically, biofuel cell-based biobattery usually adheres to net-zero energy storage procedures. By overcoming the limitations, these self-powered bioenergy storage devices are a precious substitute for battery manufacturing with bioclearance.
When biobatteries are designed as the power source for long-term or short-term operation, sub-optimal performance can be a major problem that restricts potential use from power-demanding devices.
