Enzymatic fuel cells in a microfluidic environment: Status and opportunities. A mini review

Enzymatic fuel cells in a microfluidic environment: Status and opportunities. A mini review

Miniaturized Enzymatic Fuel Cells (EFCs) have attracted great attention due to the possibility of integrating them with various low-powered microelectronic devices. In a flow-through system, harnessing the co-laminar property of microfluidics, membraneless microfluidic EFCs (M-MEFC) can be designed,...
