Abstract

The invention discloses an enzyme biofuel cell for generating electricity from trehalose produced by Escherichia coli in sewage. The invention successfully prepares a two-chamber enzyme biofuel cell capable of generating electricity by using trehalose from sewage by immobilizing engineering Escherichia coli containing trehalose hydrolase TreA and glucose oxidase GOx after whole-cell permeability treatment on an anode carbon felt and immobilizing bilirubin oxidase on a cathode carbon felt. The fuel cell assembled by the invention has a maximum output power of up to 16.2. M u.W / cm2, and the output current density of the fuel cell can still be maintained at 72% of the initial maximum output value after 60 hours of continuous power generation under the condition that the raw material is sufficient. The method for preparing the fuel cell of the invention is simple and low in cost, and the reaction is carried out at room temperature, and the prepare enzyme electrode has good catalytic performance and good application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of enzyme fuel cells, in particular to a preparation method of an enzyme biofuel cell in which an anode is jointly modified by algalose hydrolase and glucose oxidase with high enzyme activity, good stability and high efficiency, and adopts the method The invention relates to a method for generating electricity by utilizing trehalose produced from sewage from different sources in an enzyme fuel cell with a dual-enzyme immobilized anode. Background technique [0002] Enzyme biofuel cell is a biofuel cell that uses oxidoreductase as a catalyst to catalyze the oxidation of fuel. Hydrogen ions and free electrons are generated at the anode, and hydrogen ions and free electrons are used at the cathode to reduce peroxide to water, thereby completing the flow of electrons. Chemical energy is converted into electrical energy. Compared with traditional chemical batteries, although due to the fragile nat...
