The article represents a short conceptual overview of biofuel cell applications, rather than their design and operation. Special attention is given to interfacing enzyme-based biofuel cells with power consuming microelectronic devices. Importance of electronic management of the power extracted from biological sources is emphasized. In addition to several briefly explained examples collected from recent publications, one system demonstrating powering of a standard glucometer with an implantable or wearable biofuel cell is described in details. The opinion on the biofuel cell applications and limitations represents the personal vision of the authors and might be not fully in accordance with the opinions of other experts.
本文是对生物燃料电池应用的简短概念性概述,而非其设计与运行。文中特别关注了基于酶的生物燃料电池与耗能微电子设备的接口。强调了对从生物源提取的电力进行电子管理的重要性。除了从近期出版物中收集的几个简要解释的示例外,还详细描述了一个用可植入或可穿戴生物燃料电池为标准血糖仪供电的系统。关于生物燃料电池应用和局限性的观点代表了作者的个人见解,可能并不完全与其他专家的观点一致。
