Evaluation of immobilized enzyme in a high - surface - area biofuel cell electrode made of redox - polymer - grafted carbon black / Takanori Tamaki in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 49 N° 14 (Juillet 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 49 N° 14 (Juillet 2010) . - pp. 6394-6398 Titre : Evaluation of immobilized enzyme in a high - surface - area biofuel cell electrode made of redox - polymer - grafted carbon black Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Takanori Tamaki, Auteur ; Atsushi Hiraide, Auteur ; Faizly B. Asmat, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 6394-6398 Note générale : Industrial chemistry Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Carbon  black  Electrodes  Surface  area  Immobilized  enzyme Résumé : The current density of biofuel cell needs to be increased by 2 orders of magnitude to reach 10-1 A cm-2, which is the required density for portable energy devices. Model calculations have suggested that high-surface-area biofuel cell electrodes can achieve the required current density. However, experimental current density has amounted to only about 10-3 A cm-2 because of low enzyme surface coverage. In this study, we investigated the low surface coverage of glucose oxidase (GOD) in a high-surface-area biofuel cell electrode made of redox-polymer-grafted carbon black. Three possible explanations were considered: (i) low total amount of GOD, (ii) poor contact between GOD and mediator in the redox polymer, and (iii) deactivation of GOD. Among them, iii was found to be the main problem. Reducing this deactivation is the key for achieving a current density of approximately 10-1 A cm-2.
