  • Abstract
    A biofuel cell was designed to investigate electricity production from Escherichia coli (E. Coli) and as a preliminary investigation into the possible future use of biofuel cells as power sources for implantable electronic devices. A plexiglass container was fabricated to house the biofuel cell components. Current densities of 24.9 μAcm-2 were obtained, which decreased to 3.58 μAcm-2 over a two hour period.
