That could be useful in some scenarios but not for any kind of long-term monitoring in remote locations.<\/p>\n<p>In a new study published in the <i>Journal of Power Sources<\/i>, Choi and his collaborators have developed a &#8220;plug-and-play&#8221; biobattery that lasts for weeks at a time and can be stacked to improve output voltage and current. Co-authors on the research are from Choi&#8217;s Bioelectronics and Microsystems Lab: current Ph.D. student Anwar Elhadad, and Lin Liu, Ph.D. (now an assistant professor at Seattle Pacific University).<\/p>\n<p>Choi&#8217;s previous batteries had two bacteria that interacted to generate the power needed, but this new iteration uses three bacteria in separate vertical chambers: &#8220;A photosynthetic bacteria generates organic food that will be used as a nutrient for the other bacterial cells beneath. At the bottom is the electricity-producing bacteria, and the middle bacteria will generate some chemicals to improve the electron transfer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The most challenging application for the Internet of Things, Choi believes, will be wireless sensor networks deployed unattended in remote and harsh environments. These sensors will be far from an electric grid and difficult to reach to replace traditional batteries once they run down. Because those networks will allow every corner of the world to be connected, power autonomy is the most critical requirement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Right now, we are at 5G, and within the next 10 years I believe it will be 6G,&#8221; he said. &#8220;With artificial intelligence, we are going to have an enormous number of smart, standalone, always-on devices on extremely small platforms. How do you power these miniaturized devices? The most challenging applications will be the devices deployed in unattended environments. We cannot go there to replace the batteries, so we need miniaturized energy harvesters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Choi compares these new biobatteries\u2014which measure 3 centimeters by 3 centimeters square\u2014to Lego bricks that can be combined and reconfigured in a variety of ways depending on the electrical output that a sensor or device needs.<\/p>\n<p>Among the improvements he hopes to achieve through further research is creating a package that can float on water and perform self-healing to automatically repair damage incurred in harsh environments.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My ultimate target is to make it really small,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We call this &#8216;smart dust,&#8217; and a couple of bacterial cells can generate power that will be enough to operate it. Then we can sprinkle it around where we need to.&#8221;\n                                                                                                                        <\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                            Everything will connect to the internet someday, and this biobattery could help\n                                        <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__more p-4\">\n                                                                                                <strong>More information:<\/strong><br \/>\n                                                Anwar Elhadad et al, Plug-and-play modular biobatteries with microbial consortia, <i>Journal of Power Sources<\/i> (2022).  <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-doi=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1016\/j.jpowsour.2022.231487\">DOI: 10.1016\/j.jpowsour.2022.231487<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"d-inline-block text-medium my-4\">\n                                                Provided by<br \/>\n                                                                                                    Binghamton University<br \/>\n                                                                                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon_open\" href=\"http:\/\/www.binghamton.edu\/\"><br \/>\n                                                        <svg>\n                                                            <use href=\"https:\/\/techx.b-cdn.net\/tmpl\/v2\/img\/svg\/sprite.svg#icon_open\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\"\/>\n                                                        <\/svg><br \/>\n                                                    <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 Team develops biobatteries that use bacteria to generate power for weeks (2022, June 22)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 23 June 2022<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/techxplore.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2022-06-team-biobatteries-bacteria-power-weeks.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
