Researchers at the Kyoto University in Japan have recently developed a fruit fuel cell. By inserting the electrode of the battery into apples and other fruits, the LED can be turned on one night.
"Nihon Keizai Shimbun" reported on the 15th that Kyoto University has developed a "biofuel cell" that uses microorganisms and enzymes to decompose fruit sugars to generate electric current. The key is to apply two different enzymes to the battery poles. At present, this battery has a power of about 1 milliwatt per square centimeter.
The researchers said that if the enzymes applied to the two electrodes of the battery are properly combined and the electrode structure is improved, it is expected to increase the power to 5 milliwatts per square centimeter, which is equivalent to one third to one half of the solar cell level. In the event of a disaster, the battery can be used to charge electronic products, and as long as there is fructose, it can continue to supply power.
