    A mobile phone fueled with Coca Cola sounds incredible and sort of weird, doesn’t it? Well, that’s exactly what the mobile phone designed by Daizi Zheng does. According to her, the disposal of mobile phone batteries is a huge environmental problem we face today. So instead of using those, she has designed a phone juiced by her favorite cola!
    Fuel cells that run on sugar aren’t unfamiliar, which run on any sugary substance. Using a bio battery, electricity is obtained from the carbohydrates using enzymes as a catalyst. The only byproduct of this operation is water and oxygen. These batteries are capable of running three times more than normal batteries on a single charge and are also biodegradable.


    This causes them to be easily disposable without creating a huge environmental issue, since they have no harmful emissions and contain no dangerous substances unlike lithium batteries. So the next time you sip on your coke, remember that the can in your hand can also power your mobile phone!
