Abstract
Bioenzymatic fuel cells provide a metal-free alternative to power the next generation of microelectronic devices that will rely solely on widely available ingredients: carbon, cellulose, sugar and enzymes. Applicable to logistics trackers, wearable biosensors and single-use medical devices, bioenzymatic fuel cells enable the development of smart systems while reducing the environmental footprint.
