Abstract
The sugar oxidising enzymes glucose oxidase, glucose dehydrogenases (GDH) and cellobiose dehydrogenases (CDH) were co-immobilised, in the presence of multiwalled carbon nanotubes, with osmium redox polymers. Under pseudo-physiological conditions of 5mM glucose, 150mM NaCl, 37°C, glucose oxidation current densities above 800μAcm-2 are obtained from films containing an [Os(4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine)2(poly-vinylimidazole)10Cl]+ redox polymer, redox potential 0.1V vs. Ag/AgCl, and either glucose oxidase or FAD-dependant GDH. Current produced by, and stability of, glucose-oxidising half-cells is compared in 100mM glucose, with films containing CDHs proving most stable. Such results show promise for development of glucose-oxidising enzymatic fuel cells.
