Abstract

Enzymatic biofuel cells (BFCs) are bioelectric devices that utilize oxidoreductase enzymes to catalyze the conversion of chemical energy into electric energy. Here, it is reviewed that the carbon nanotube (CNT) is a key material to improve the performance of enzyme electrodes and BFCs. Thanks to the high specific surface area of the nanostructured CNT-based electrodes, the electrons involved in the bio-electrocatalytic processes can be efficiently transferred from or to an external circuit. These high-performance enzyme electrodes were applied to the insertion-type and the patch-type BEF devices. The insertion BFC device generates electricity directly from biofluids like fruits juice and animal bloods, and serves as a self-powered biosensor for sugar in biofluids. The patch-type medical devices drive the iontophoretic flow through the skin to accelerate drug dosing and wound healing.
