A Direct Electron Transfer‐Based Glucose/Oxygen Biofuel Cell Operating in Human Serum

Abstract: We report on the fabrication and characterisation of the very first direct electron transfer‐based glucose/oxygen biofuel cell (BFC) operating in neutral glucose‐containing buffer and human serum. Corynascus thermophilus cellobiose dehydrogenase and Myrothecium verrucaria bilirubin oxidase were used as anodic and cathodic bioelements, respectively. The following characteristics of the mediator‐, separator‐ and membrane‐less, a priori, non‐toxic and simple miniature BFC, was obtained: an open‐circuit voltage of… Show more

“…For the purposes of this review and in the light of the wildtype CDH being comprised of the FAD dehydrogenase domain alongside the haem domain, we consider CDH to undergo direct bioelectrocatalysis. For the last 20 years or so, researchers have investigated the nature of DET between CDH and electrode surfaces, which has been concluded to be largely afforded via the haem domain (figure 8a) [73][74][75][76][77].…”

“…In the present context of biofuel cell development intensive efforts are gathered [1,2] towards fulfilling of key limiting parameters [3], not only in terms of current densities and extended cell potential, but also regarding the adaptation to physiological conditions [4]. From an implantable biocathode point of view that catalyzes the oxygen reduction to water, the maximum output that can be feasibly obtained is limited by both the oxygen concentration and the potential provided by the biocathode.…”

“…Corynascus thermophilus cellobiose dehydrogenase (CtCDH) was purified to homogeneity [18] and had a volumetric activity of 276 U/ml (2,6-dichloroindophenol assay at pH 7.5) [33].…”

“…The majority of enzymatic fuel cells utilise O 2 and glucose as oxidant and fuel, respectively, both of which are available in body fluids. The most frequently used enzymes in biofuel cells are blue multi-copper oxidases (bilirubin oxidase [15] and laccase [16]) at the cathode and glucose oxidase [15], glucose dehydrogenase [17] or cellobiose dehydrogenase [18] at the anode. GOx is a dimeric glycosylated protein composed of two identical monomers.…”
