Fabrication and simulation of implantable glucose Bio Fuel Cell with gold catalyst

Emerging trends in bioenergy harvesters for chronic powered implants

“…But they fail to deliver under the physiological conditions. 111 Since pure platinum undergoes irreversible oxidation and poisoning easily, roughened platinum has exhibited better, stable performance. In attempts to develop thin and highly active glucose anodes which permit generation of the required energy in the smallest possible volume, Raney noble metal catalysts supported on a metal foil followed by dissolution of the metal catalyst was adopted.…”
