With the rapid progress in nanotechnology and microengineering, point-of-care and personalised healthcare, based on wearable and implantable diagnostics, is becoming a reality. Enzymatic fuel cells (EFCs) hold great potential as a sustainable means to power such devices by using physiological fluids as the fuel. This review summarises the fundamental operation of EFCs and discusses the most recent advances for their use as implantable and wearable self-powered sensors.
随着纳米技术和微工程的快速发展,基于可穿戴和可植入诊断的即时护理和个性化医疗正在成为现实。酶燃料电池 (EFC) 具有很大的潜力,可用生理流体作为燃料为这些设备提供可持续的动力。本文综述了 EFC 的基本工作原理,并讨论了其作为可植入和可穿戴自供电传感器最新进展。
