Enzymatic Fuel Cells: Towards Self-Powered Implantable and Wearable Diagnostics

Enzymatic Fuel Cells: Towards Self-Powered Implantable and Wearable Diagnostics

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...
