“…She managed to persuade Åke Senning to implant a unit in her husband, who survived another 43 years and many pacemaker replacements. (22) Studies in the 1960s and early 70s, when only simple VOO and VVI units were implanted, showed survival rates of 90% at one year and 5 year survivals of 60 to 80%, despite an average age of around 65 years at the time of implant. (23) Survival was similar to an age-matched cohort from the general population.…”

“…The invention of the artificial pacemaker marked the dawn of implantable electronic devices that have now been successfully used in medicine for more than five decades [1]. Current applications extend to implantable neuroprosthetic devices [2] such as cochlear implants [3] and neural stimulating electrodes [4][5][6], as well as microfabricated devices targeting temperature, blood pressure, immuno-isolation, drug delivery, and microinjection [7,8].…”

Thin film nanoporous electrodes for the selective catalysis of oxygen in abiotically catalysed micro glucose fuel cells

Selective reduction of oxygen is an important property of fuel cells designed to operate in a mixed fuel environment containing both oxidizing and reducing reactants. This would be of particular importance in the design of a long lasting energy supply unit powering implantable microsystems and running from exogeneous chemicals that is abundant in the body (such as glucose and oxygen). This paper presents the development of a nanoporous electrode for oxygen reduction in the presence of glucose. The electrode was fabricated by e-beam deposition of palladium thin films on porous ceramic aluminium oxide (AAO) substrates with a pore size of 100 and 200 nm respectively. The porous nature of the electrodes improved the catalytic properties by increasing the real surface area close to 100 times the geometric surface area. At a dissolved physiological oxygen (DO) concentration of 2 ppm, the maximum exchange current density was found to be 2.9×10 −3 ± 0.5×10 −3 µA cm −2 whereas the potential reduction due to the addition of 5 mM glucose was about 20.6 ± 16.1 mV. The Tafel slopes were measured to be about 60 mV per decade. After running for 21 hours in a physiological saline solution with 2 ppm DO and 3 mM glu- cose, the reduction in the electrode operational potential was -0.13 mV h −1 under a load current density of 4.4 µA cm −2 . These results suggest that nanoporous AAO cathodes coated with palladium offers a reasonable catalytic performance with a good selectivity towards oxygen in the presence of glucose.
