▎ 摘 要
In this work, we fabricated flexible electrodes for a miniaturized, simple structured, and flexible glucose biofuel cell (BFC) using a graphene-coated carbon fiber cloth (GCFC). The areas of the anode and cathode electrodes were 3 x 10mm(2). The anode area was coated with the enzyme glucose oxidase, and the cathode area was coated with the enzyme bilirubin oxidase. No ion-exchange film was needed because glucose oxidase selectively oxidizes glucose and bilirubin oxidase selectively reduces oxygen. The power density of the BFC with GCFC electrodes in a phosphate buffer solution of 200mM glucose solution at room temperature was 34.3 mu W/cm(2) at 0.43V. The power density of a BFC using carbon fiber cloth (CFC) without graphene modification was 18.5 mu W/cm(2) at 0.13V. The BFC with the GCFC electrode continued to function longer than 24 h with a power density higher than 5 mu W/cm(2). These effects were attributed to the much larger effective surface areas of the GCFC electrodes that maintain more enzymes than those of the CFC electrodes.
