Freely-suspended, single chamber glucose oxidase-laccase enzymatic fuel cell

We investigate glucose oxidase-laccase EFC employing simplified system design – freely suspended enzymes in a membraneless, single chamber cell. The highly specific enzyme reaction mechanisms permit such system design. The EFC comprises nickel mesh as the oxidative current collector and a carbon-bas...
