The use of a hydrogenase-methylene blue system in a biochemical fuel cell : (an anode reaction) / Jun Mizuguchi [and others]
An electron carrier system similar to one found in living cells has been studied in vitro at the anode of a biochemical fuel cell. The action of an electron carrier system, composed of methylene blue as an organic redox compound and hydrogenase as an enzyme with hydrogen gas, has been analyzed at th...

| Summary: | An electron carrier system similar to one found in living cells has been studied in vitro at the anode of a biochemical fuel cell. The action of an electron carrier system, composed of methylene blue as an organic redox compound and hydrogenase as an enzyme with hydrogen gas, has been analyzed at the anode of a biochemical fuel cell. A current of 0.16 mA/(sq. cm.) has been shown using a hydrogenase solution obtained from E. coli. It gave evidence for general application of similar systems in biochemical fuel cells. Further experimentation will be directed to obtain higher current-voltage by other enzyme-like substances. |
