Abstract

Bio-batteries are environmental friendly electricity generation devices that utilize energy from biological sources , like glucose[1][2]. It consists of an anode with digesting enzymes and a cathode comprising oxygen-reducing enzymes. Immobilizing enzymes is a considerable issue in these kinds of devices. In this article, we propose two new methods for immobilizing and shifting particles likewise enzymes used in bio-batteries towards the anode or cathode end. Our experiments illustrate how tiny particles could be trapped in the nodes of the ultrasonic standing waves and by two methods of displacing the nodes, we can transfer the particles towards a desired location. First method is based on sweeping the frequency of the operation to the higher frequency and the second is based on changing the circuit phase. The above-mentioned methods can be used instead of the other common method in which certain polymers is applied for this purpose. Using these polymers are not economically commodious and makes bio-batteries too expensive[1]. We hope suggested methods lead to wide spread production of bio-batteries in near future and in more efficient ways than they are currently being produced
