In Situ Characterization Techniques for Design and Evaluation of Micro- and Nano-Enzyme- CataSyzed Power Sources

摘要

Although the literature is full of presentations on various aspects of bio-fuel cell performance, whether they are focused on components, such as anode or cathode; or whole cell, there is a need for an overriding view of how the bio-fuel cell should be characterized in terms of both defining performance of a component on a consistent basis that can be compared across the discipline, but also in defining the relative impacts on cell performance. Here, we suggest a view of the bio-fuel cell in the context of how performance can be judged by researchers spanning disciplines and laboratories, We then review many characterization techniques available and provide guidelines on how their use relates to characterizing overall component and cell performance.
