Electrocatalysts for Glucose Electrooxidation Reaction: A Review

摘要: The up-to-date research as far it concerns the abiotic direct glucose fuel cells (DGFCs) is summarized and discussed in present review. Platinum gold-based well Raney-type electrocatalysts are among most studied ones. In abiotically (non-implantable) DGFCs, unsupported Pt PtRuO2, exhibited good activity (power density ~20 mW cm−2), at room temperature atmospheric pressure. On other hand, Au-based adopted a DGFC resulted power densities up to ca. 5 cm−2, exhibiting however high poisoning tolerance. Recently, after introduction of alkaline membranes into market, Pd-based have attracted attention community because their enhanced media. However, there still very few investigations where membrane electrode assemblies with palladium been applied. Moreover, electrocatalysts, not yet examined for fuels polymer electrolyte cells, considered be appropriate implantable DGFCs. A novel cell human brain performed 3.4 × 10−3 μW 10 h adopting electrocatalysts.
