中文摘要 現實世界對於酵素型生物燃料電池需要酵素被固定於電極表面,以改善其短壽命與低功率之可行性。因此本研究展示輕便與友善環境的實驗架構,複合型的網絡連結法固定數種高分子與酵素於碳布電極。進行比較性實驗,包括其微結構,酵素固定量,電化學性質等。結果顯示此複合型酵素固定方式,搭配本實驗室開發的毛細管力自驅動流道,可達到最高電功率密度(1.08 mW.cm−2)較過去為佳。此自驅動式酵素型生物燃料電池運轉經過240小時,仍持續有89.2%的效能,也較過去研究(61.1%)為佳。此改善提升的酵素固定方法,足以實證能防止酵素於電池運轉造成脫落,增進效能與運轉壽命。
英文摘要 The real-world application of an enzyme-based biofuel cell (EBFC) requires the desirable immobilization of enzymes on the electrode surface, offering the feasibility of addressing its short lifetime and low-power density. Nevertheless, an efficient immobilization of enzymes strongly relies on the preferred scaffolding between the enzyme and the electrode. Accordingly, the development of a promising route to attain a tunable scaffold structure is urgently required. Herein, we present a facile and
ecofriendly route for efficiently controlling the scaffold structure by investigating the interplay of tripolyphosphate (TPP), chitosan(CS), and Na. A series of glucose oxidase (GOx)-based anodic electrodes, GOx[CS/TPP]CC, GOx[CS/Na]CC, and GOx[CS/TPP/Na]CC, are synthesized using CS/TPP, CS/Na, and CS/TPP/Na as the scaffolding on carbon cloth (CC) followed by the immobilization of GOx for a comparative study of the microstructure, enzyme loading, and electrochemical property. It is revealed that the self-pumping EBFC, driven by capillary force, utilizing GOx[CS/TPP/Na]CC can deliver a higher peak power density (1.08 mW.cm−2) than that utilizing GOx[CS/TPP]CC (0.776 mW cm−2) and GOx[CS/Na]CC (0.682 mW.cm−2). The self pumping EBFC utilizing GOx[CS/TPP/Na]CC can retain 89.2% of its beginning performance even after 240 h of testing, as compared with that utilizing GOx[CS/Na]CC (61.1%). This enhancement can be attributed to the formation of a desirable scaffold structure via the cross-linked CS/TPP matrices combined with Na polymers for the hybrid enzyme immobilization, simultaneously offering the capability of improving the enzyme-loading efficiency, facilitating the interaction between the surface electrode and the enzyme, and preventing the release of the enzyme during the cell operation.
