Printed Biofuel Cells
University researchers have developed printed biofuel cells (BFCs) and methods whereby such BFCs can be fabricated on various substrates using high-throughput, low-cost printing, roll-to-roll, and inkjet techniques. Proprietary printing techniques and chemical functionalization of the inks are employed to realize robust, high-power output, and inexpensive biofuel cells that can process a wide variety of biofuels. The technology has wide-ranging implications in the healthcare and power generation domains, e.g., low-cost power sources for implantable/body-worn medical devices; low-cost systems for energy generation in remote, developing areas. Reduction to practice has been achieved for an exemplary embodiment of the invention.
