Abstract:Enzymatic lactate/O2 biofuel cells (BFCs) are energy conversion systems in which enzymes oxidize lactate at a bioanode and reduce oxygen at a biocathode. These enzymes are highly safe toward humans, and highly selective for substrates. In addition, lactate is contained abundant in a human sweat. Thus, the lactate/O2 BFCs have been attracting attention as a next-generation wearable power source1).
We have produced a paper-based lactate biofuel cell in which lactate oxidase (LOx) and a mediator ar… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
