Who would have figured out that batteries will be powered by paper one day. Engineers at Sony did, where they recently paraded a bio battery that is capable of generating electricity through the clever use of paper as fuel. This is definitely an improvement over previous battery models that relied on glucose, as this particular paper-powered bio battery relies on an enzyme to decompose paper into glucose – whereby this glucose that is harvested will then be used for power generation. In order to ensure that the decomposition kicks in, Sony relied on an enzyme known as cellulase, where it will make short work of cellulose.
