Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To develop highly functional protein-based bio-fuel cells, and self-powered biosensing devices, several redox-proteins and metal-proteins was successfully immobilized on the surface of carbon-felt, which is micro-electrode ensemble of micro carbon fiber (ca. 7 um in diameter) and possesses a random three-dimensional structure. To obtain larger bioelectrocatalytic current density, various experimental parameters (protein-immobilization method, kinds of buffer, pH, temperature and kinds of electron-transfer mediators) were optimized, and performance of these elecrodes were evaluated.
