“…3B). It should be noted that the catalytic current density ( j p ) at the Lac/AP-CNTs/GC electrode is higher than those at the Lac-GA functionalized chitosan (CS)-CNTs/GC electrode (about 100 A/cm 2 ) [46] and the Lac/CNTs-ionic liquid/graphite electrode (about 78 A/cm 2 ) [45]. This implies that Lac immobilized on the AP-CNTs matrix preserves good biocatalytic activity towards oxygen reduction and 1-AP functionalized CNTs are favorable for the immobilization of Lac.…”

“…Multidimensionality provides both small pores to support enzyme stabilization and high loading densities. The chitosan polymer described recently is a material that promises control over both the degree of dimensionality and directionality [30,43]; nevertheless, this approach remains relatively unexplored. The development of miniature biofuel cell has been another focus of recent papers.…”

The continuous increase in the search for alternative energy sources worldwide is pushing the demand for "clean" and efficient energy production processes. The concept of biofuel cell has been known since 1912 but only in 1964 that the first enzyme-based biofuel cell was described. Since then, this kind of device has been the target of many research teams worldwide. This device is an alternative to the fuel cells employing metal catalysts that is capable of converting chemical energy into electricity, with the advantage of using biological molecules as catalysts. This new technology offers several other advantages over traditional batteries, including the use of renewable and clean catalysts, reaction selectivity, fuel flexibility, and the ability to operate at milder temperature. Recent studies have demonstrated promising characteristics of these devices; however, despite the several advances in this area, some challenges still need to be faced. This manuscript aims to provide the reader with an overview of the state of the art in enzymatic biofuel cells by discussing the latest papers in this field and presenting an outlook for future research in this area.

“…(3) Nanomaterials integrated in the enzyme electrode structure to improve the electron transfer and enzyme catalytic activity. Gold nano particles and nano carbon materials have been utilised to establish and improve the electron transfer between enzyme active centre and electrodes because of their excellent electronic properties [100,[109][110][111]. Mesoporous materials can be another substrate for enzyme immobilisation.…”

Enzyme based bioelectronics have attracted increasing interest in recent years because of their applications on biomedical research and healthcare. They also have broad applications in environmental monitoring, and as the power source for portable electronic devices. In this review, the technology developed for fabrication of enzyme electrodes has been described. Different enzyme immobilisation methods using layered structures with self-assembled monolayers (SAM) and entrapment of enzymes in polymer matrixes have been reviewed. The performances of enzymatic biofuel cells are summarised. Various approaches on further development to overcome the current challenges have been discussed. This innovative technology will have a major impact and benefit medical science and clinical research, healthcare management, energy production from renewable sources.
