Conducting Polyaniline and Biofuel Cell

Abstract

Structure design of a photosynthetic-based biofuel cell and the fabrication processes to make it have been explored and developed. Novel nanostructure and modified polyaniline have been used to enhance the performance of the biofuel cell. The mechanism of the electron transfer process and the electrocatalysis of polyaniline have been investigated. Photosynthetic-based biofuel cells with a mA/cm² current density have been demonstrated.
