Supercapacitor/biofuel cell hybrids based on wired enzymes on carbon nanotube matrices: autonomous reloading after high power pulses in neutral buffered glucose solutions
Abstract
We report an original setup using carbon nanotube matrices as supercapacitors where redox enzymes serve for continuous charging of the capacitors. High currents can be delivered under short pulse discharges. This supercapacitor/biofuel cell hybrid system remains stable for at least 40 000 pulses of 2 mW.
