Efficient biohybrid batteries

Science Daily  October 31, 2023 Incorporating the latest advancements in microbial electrochemistry and electrochemical CO2 reduction, researchers in China have developed a super-fast charging biohybrid battery by using pure formic acid as an energy carrier. CO2 electrolyzer made it possible to use affordable anion exchange membranes and electrocatalysts that were readily accessible. The biohybrid battery required a 3-minute charging to accomplish 25-hour discharging phase. Bioconversion played a vital role in restricting both the overall Faradaic efficiency and Energy efficiency. The electrolyser was able to operate continuously for 164 hours under Gas Stand-By model, by storing N2 gas in the extraction […]
