1. An organic electrochemical cell, comprising:
a cathode including a quinone compound;
an anode including dipotassium terephthalate;
an electrolyte;
a separator disposed between the anode and the cathode; and
a binder that is part of the anode and the cathode, the binder including a peptidoglycan-polyacrylic acid biopolymer and configured to prevent damage to the cathode and the anode during an operation of the organic electrochemical cell,
the organic electrochemical cell configured such that, during a discharging operation, potassium ions travel through the separator and the electrolyte to the cathode.
