New Energy Sources: The Enzymatic Biofuel Cell

New Energy Sources: The Enzymatic Biofuel Cell

A busca contínua por fontes alternativas de energia, imposta por interesses econômicos e ambientais, tem motivado investigações sobre alternativas limpas e eficientes para a produção de energia. As células a combustível são uma estratégia potencialmente eficaz para a conversão de energia. As biocélulas a combustível constituem uma subclasse das células a combustível, que possuem grande potencia...

Design and Fabrication of Glucose/O2 Enzymatic Biofuel Cell

Enzyme-based biofuel cells (EBFCs) are systems that use a variety of organic compounds to produce electricity through oxido-reductase enzymes, such as oxidase or dehydrogenase as biocatalysts immobilized on electrodes. In this study, a single-chamber EBFC consisting of carbon electrodes that operating at ambient temperature in phosphate buffer, pH 7 is reported. The EBFC anode was based on gluc...

Enzymatic Glucose Biofuel Cell and its Application

Biofuel cells have received significant attention in the last few decades due to its potential application as alternative energy sources and advantages over conventional fuel cells. This review summarizes different types of glucose biofuel cells with emphasis on enzymatic glucose biofuel cells. Unlike conventional fuel cells, which use fuel such as ethanol, methanol, formic acid, etc. to genera...

Microbial and Enzymatic Biofuel Cells

The purpose of this chapter is to review recent work in biofuel cells -that is, fuel cells relying at least in part on enzymatic catalysis for their activity. The chapter is divided into three sections: (1) a brief review of the principles common to fuel cells (both biological and non-biological), supported with a bibliography of more comprehensive treatments, (2) an overview of the literature ...
