The cathode is deposited into the cathode solution, which is a mixture solution of a buffer solution in the pH range from 7 to 10, an electron mediator such as methyl viologen or ion ions(Fe^3+), and a biocatalyst such as Pyrococcus furious, Clostridium pasteurianum, Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, and serves to transmit the electrons to the biocatalyst. A salt bridge(15) is connected to the electrolyte and the cathode solution respectively for serving as a path for movement of ions between the solutions. A wire(16) connects the anode to the cathode to transmit the electrons collected to the anode to the cathode.
