Kurzfassung:
We have developed the passive-type biofuel cell, in which two-electron oxidation of glucose and four-electron reduction of O2 occur at pH 7 in mediated bioelectrochemical processes, having the maximum power density of 5.0 mW/cm2 at 500 mV. This performance has been achieved by using a new electrolyte solution (Imidazole/HCl buffer, 2 M, pH 7), instead of the general solution (Sodium phosphate buffer, 1 M, pH 7); the maximum power density was a 3.0 mW/cm2 at the same conditions. By introducing the new electrolyte solution into our biofuel cell, we have succeeded in enhancing the catalytic current because the proton transfer into electrodes would increase compared with the phosphate buffer system.
