Abstract

Among the energy demands, innovative solutions are required to power various devices. Enter paper‐based microfluidic fuel cells (PµFCs) running on eco‐friendly alcohols from biomass. While lightweight and disposable, they mainly rely on costly noble‐metal catalysts for high efficiency. In this context, the concept of photo paper batteries (pPBs), utilizing affordable sunlight‐activated semiconductors to drive alcohol oxidation on paper, opens the possibility to disposable and affordable energy solutions. Our review highlights recent progress in PµFCs fueled by alcohols like methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, and glycerol. We explore semiconductor advancements driving anodic reactions and envision the potential of pPBs.

以酒精为燃料的光催化纸基电池展望

在能源需求中，需要创新的解决方案为各种设备提供动力。纸基微流体燃料电池（PµFC）以生物质中的环保酒精为燃料。虽然这种燃料电池重量轻、可一次性使用，但主要依靠昂贵的贵金属催化剂来实现高效率。在这种情况下，相纸电池（pPBs）的概念利用经济实惠的阳光激活半导体来驱动纸张上的酒精氧化，为一次性和经济实惠的能源解决方案提供了可能性。我们的综述重点介绍了以甲醇、乙醇、乙二醇和甘油等酒精为燃料的 PµFCs 的最新进展。我们探讨了推动阳极反应的半导体进展，并展望了 pPBs 的潜力。
