You can use redox reactions in an electrolytic cell.

Explanation:

Using electrolytic cells, and reduction/oxidation reactions, you can create a battery based on the flow of electrons from one end of the cell to another.

The anode of the cell is where oxidation takes place, and the cathode is where reduction takes place.
