Flexible and high-performance paper-based biofuel cells using printed porous carbon electrodes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Dec 7;49(94):11110-2. doi: 10.1039/c3cc46644b.

Abstract

We demonstrate a flexible paper-based biofuel cell using porous carbon inks for high power output. The power density of the fabricated biofuel cell reached 0.12 mW cm(-2) (at 0.4 V), which is the highest output power reported to date, to the best of our knowledge.
