energy production | design of a bioanode that directly utilizes starch as a fuel in an enzymatic biofuel cell. The enzymatic fuel cell is based on three enzymes (alpha-amylase, glucoamylase and glucose oxidase). The carbon paste electrode containing these three enzymes and tetrathiafulvalene can both saccharize and oxidize starchy biomass. In cyclic voltammetry, catalytic currents are successfully observed with both glucose and starchy white rice used as a substrate. A membraneless white rice/O2 biofuel cell is assembled and the electrochemical performance is evaluated. The three-enzyme-based electrode is used as a bioanode and an immobilized bilirubin oxidase (derived from Myrothecium verrucaria) electrode is used as a biocathode. The biofuel cell deliveres an open circuit voltage of 0.522 V and power density of up to 0.099 mW/cm | Rhizopus arrhizus |
