Understanding exoelectrogenic reactions of the bioanode is limited due to its complexity and the absence of analytics. Impedance and thermodynamics of bioanode, abiotic anode, and riboflavin-amended anode were evaluated. Activation overpotential of the bioanode was negligible compared with that of the abiotic anode. Impedance spectroscopy shows that the bioanode had much lower charge transfer resistance and higher capacitance than the abiotic anode in low frequency reaction. In high frequency reaction, the impedance parameters, however, were relatively similar between the bioanode and the abiotic anode. At open-circuit impedance spectroscopy, a high frequency arc was not detected in the abiotic anode in Nyquist plot. Addition of riboflavin induced a phase angle shift and created curvature in high-frequency arc of the abiotic anode, and it also drastically changed impedance spectra of the bioanode.

유리화탄소전극 위에 탄소나노튜브(CNT), 전하전달체(CTC), 글루코스 산화효소(GOx), 폴리이온복합체(PIC, poly-L-lysine hydrobromiderhk과 poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) 혼합물)를 순차적으로 도포하여 글루코스/산소 바이오전지용 효소전극을 제조하였다. 또한, CNT, bilirubin oxidase (BOD), 2,2'-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS), 그리고 PIC 등의 층으로 제조한 전극을 바이오캐쏘드로 사용하여 바이오전지를 제조하였다. CNT와 CTC가 전극의 성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하였으며, 글루코스농도 5, 20, 200 mM에서 각각 3.6, 10.1, $46.5{\mu}W/cm^2$의 최대전력밀도를 나타내었으며, 본 연구에서 제시한 전극이 바이오전지 및 바이오센서의 개발에 활용될 수 있다는 것을 보여주었다.
