Presentation Summary

  • An easy and fast construction of biofuel cells based onphysical inclusion of enzymes and redox mediators within prssed graphite discs.
  • Mediatorless high-power glucose biofuel cells based on compressed carbon nanotube-enzyme electrodes.
  • In vivo demonstration of performance of a biofuel cell implanted in the retroperitoneal space of freely moving rats.

Speaker Biography (Serge Cosnier)

Dr Serge Cosnier is Research Director at CNRS and head of the Analytical and Electrochemical Biosystems laboratory at Grenoble university, France.
