It is also possible to made a sugar-based rocket fuel. But, what about using sugar in batteries? Sony has recently shown some "bio-batteries" which use enzymes to break down carbohydrates in glucose.

These innovations are addressing key challenges in electron transfer rates and energy density, making PBFCs more competitive with traditional battery technologies.

bio-based materials, the researchers were able to produce a suitable ink based on cellulose. The fungal cells can even use cellulose as a nutrient, which helps break down the battery after use.

Indian scientists have synthesized a bio-inspired electrocatalyst in a bid ... biofuel cells, and metal-air batteries. The electrocatalyst – developed by Dr- Ramendra Sundar Dey and his ...
