Zinc-air cell employing laccase as the oxygen reduction catalyst
Zinc-air cell employing laccase enzyme as the oxygen reduction catalyst has been investigated. Laccase is an oxidoreductase, belongs to the copper-containing enzyme family which attracts many due to its ability to reduce molecular oxygen to water. The test cell consisted of zinc metal foil as the an...
