Microbial and Enzymatic Biofuel Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 directly relevant to biofuel cells that encompasses both microbial and enzymatic cells, and (3) a summary of the obstacles that remain along the path to a practical biofuel cell, with suggestions for future research.

متن کاملBiological Fuel Cells and Membranes
Biofuel cells have been widely used to generate bioelectricity. Early biofuel cells employ a semi-permeable membrane to separate the anodic and cathodic compartments. The impact of different membrane materials and compositions has also been explored. Some membrane materials are employed strictly as membrane separators, while some have gained significant attention in the immobilization of enzyme...
