CT-Based Bio-Solid-State Battery

Abstract: The ability of vitamin A acetate to form charge-transfer (CT)-complexes in the solid state with electron acceptors has been exploited for the direct conversion if chemical energy into electrical energy. The electrochemical cell devised for this purpose has the configuration zinc/CT complex/Pt or graphite. An open-circuit voltage of 1.08 V and short-circuit current densities of up to 5 mA/cm2 were found at room temperature. The current-voltage and discharge characteristics gave a maximum power density of 4.0 W/… Show more

“…These include conjugated and unconjugated ones and are: the natural rubber (poly(cisisoprene), polystyrene, styrene butadiene rubber, polyacetylene, polyphenylacetylene, poly(phenylene vinylene), polybutadiene, graphite, carbon nanotubes, and fullerene C 60 . Several conjugated polyenic naturally occurring molecules such βcarotene, β apo8′carotenal, astacene, methyl bixin, lycopene, lutein, retinoic acid, vitamin A acetate, zeaxanthin, and fucoxan thin, were reported to develop CTCs with molecular iodine in the solid state [267][268][269][270][271]. A remarkable finding was that these iodinetreated molecules were endowed with high electrical conductivity, and were found, therefore, appli cations in solid state batteries [25,269,270]; there was an electrical conductivity of 10 6 S·cm 1 for the iodinated mol ecules against 10 14 S·cm 1 for the virgin molecules.…”

“…An electric battery is the one form of non-conventional energy sources which convert chemical energy into electrical energy with the help of one or more electrochemical cells example lead-acid, Ni-Cd battery etc. The chemical battery has various disadvantages such as toxic, corrosion of electrodes and sometimes causes explosion, to overcome these problems many scientists study on the use of biological materials to make the biobatteries RESEARCH ARTICLE and these batteries are different from existing batteries [1][2][3][4] . Various studies on these cells reveal that there are two main contributions in energy generations from biocells 5 .…”

“…Another interesting feature of these samples is that they form charge transl'er complex (CT) with iodine and after formation of the complex their conductivity increases by several powers of ten (Jain et al 1988). Moreover the CT complexes of these samples have been used quite successfully as batteries (Jain et al 1988;Sen et at 1993) and in this context this polyene fl-Apo-8' carotenal is very promising and the application can be extended to the development of some other devices.…”
