 INTRODUCTION

Biotechnology is the application of

biological concepts and techniques
to develop useful products and
technologies. In the context of
batteries and electric vehicles,
biotechnology can refer to the use
of microorganisms or other
organisms to improve battery
performance or produce fuel cells.

CONVENTIONAL BATTERY CHALLENGES

Conventional batteries, such as lithium-ion (Li-ion) based

batteries commonly used in electric vehicles and electronic
devices, have several challenges and limitations.

■ Limited Production Costs and Raw Materials

■ End-of-Life Management
■ Limited Life Cycle

Efforts continue to be made to overcome these challenges

through technological innovation,development of more
sustainable raw materials, and improvements in battery
waste management.

BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BATTERY DEVELOPMENT

Biotechnology can contribute through various

approaches involving microorganisms and
biological materials.

■ Hydrogen Bacteria
This process involves a biological reaction
that produces hydrogen as a byproduct.
■ Biodegradabilitas
For example, algae or other microorganisms
can be used to produce materials that can be
used in battery construction.

MATERIALS
Application of
Biotechnology in
Battery Materials:
1. Electrode Biocomposites, to
develop electrode biocomposites,
where biological materials such as
cellulose, chitin, or lignin can be
integrated with conductive materials
such as graphite or carbon.

2. Electrolyte Biocomposites,
biological materials such as
polysaccharides or proteins can be
used in making electrolyte
biocomposites. This can increase ion
conductivity and improve battery
electrolyte performance.
