Abstract

Enzyme fuel cells were composed of enzyme cathode and PEMFC anode. Enzyme cathode was fabricated by compression of a mixture of graphite particle, laccase as a enzyme and ABTS as a redox mediator, and then coated with Nafion ionomer. Open circuit voltage (OCV) were measured with variation of cathode manufacture factors, to find optimum condition of enzyme cathode. Optimum pressure was 4.0 bar for enzyme cathode pressing process. Highest OCV was obtained at 95% graphite composition in enzyme cathodee. Optimum glucose concentration was 0.4 mol/l in cathode substrate solution.

효소 전극 cathode와 PEMFC용 전극 anode를 이용하여 효소연료전지를 구동하였다. 효소 cathode는 그래파이트 분말과 효소로서 Laccase, 산화환원 매개체로서 ABTS를 혼합해 압축해서 만들고 Nafion 이오노머로 코팅하였다. cathode 제조조건을 변화시키며 OCV를 측정해 효소 cathode 제조 최적조건을 찾았다. 효소 cathode 압축 시 최적 압력은 4.0 bar 였다. 효소 cathode에서 그래파이트가 95%일 때 최고의 OCV를 나타냈다. cathode기질 용액의 최적 글루코스 농도는 0.4 mol/l이었다.
