Abstract [en]

We present a transparent and flexible self-charging biosupercapacitor based on an optimised mediator- and membrane-free enzymatic glucose/oxygen biofuel cell. Indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticles were spray-coated on transparent conducting ITO supports resulting in a flocculent, porous and nanostructured electrode surface. By this, high capacitive currents caused by an increased electrochemical double layer as well as enhanced catalytic currents due to a higher number of immobilised enzyme molecules were obtained. After a chemical pretreatment with a silane derivative, bilirubin oxidase from Myrothecium verrucaria was immobilized onto the ITO nanostructured electrode surface under formation of a biocathode, while bioanodes were obtained by either immobilisation of cellobiose dehydrogenase from Corynascus thermophilus or soluble PQQ-dependent glucose dehydrogenase from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus. The latter showed a lower apparent K-M value for glucose conversion and higher catalytic currents at mu M glucose concentrations. Applying the optimised device as a biosupercapacitor in a discontinuous charge/discharge mode led to a generated power output of 0.030 mW/cm(2) at 50 mu M glucose, simulating the glucose concentration in human tears. This represents an enhancement by a factor of 350 compared to the power density obtained from the continuously operating biofuel cell with a maximum power output of 0.086 mu W/cm(2) under the same conditions. After 17 h of charging/discharging cycles a remarkable current enhancement was still measured. The entire device was transferred to flexible materials and applied for powering a flexible display showing its potential applicability as an intermittent power source in smart contact lenses.

Abstract [sv]

Portabel medicinteknisk utrustning framträder alltmer som en av de mest lovande metoderna för vårdövervakning och personlig behandling. Förebyggande vård och hantering av kroniska sjukdomar är resurskrävande och en överföring av det konventionella sjukhuscentrerade sjukvårdssystemet till ett individcentrerat vårdsystem skulle vara samhällsekonomiskt gynnsam. I ett sådant scenario representerar bärbara mätenheter en teknik för övervakning av patienter på ett icke-invasivt och lättanvänt sätt. Denna teknik har möjlighet att tillhandahålla långsiktiga hälsostatusövervakningar och förmedla realtidsdata som läkare kan analysera för att ge patienterna återkoppling utan att behöva träffa patienterna lika ofta. Dessutom är många utan kroniska sjukdomar också intresserade av att övervaka kroppens hälsotillstånd för att förhindra sjukdomar och uppnå en högre livskvalitet. Dagens bärbara enheter integrerar elektronik med låg strömförbrukning och trådlös teknik, s.k. ”low power wireless technology”, för att överföra information från enheten till en mottagare. Elektronik behöver tillförlitliga strömkällor för att säkerställa funktionen, och biologiska kraftkällor är särskilt lämpliga alternativ att använda i bärbara enheter, eftersom de har hög prestanda när de används under fysiologiska förhållanden. Olika biologiska kraftkällor har tillverkats och testats i denna avhandling. Materialen som används för att tillverka dem är transparenta och flexibla. Dessa två egenskaper bidrar starkt till användarvänligheten och ökar därmed benägenheten att använda sådana kraftkällor. De biologiska kraftkällorna omvandlar kemisk energi till elektrisk energi genom att oxidera glukos och reducera syre under förhållanden som liknar dem som föreligger i mänsklig tårvätska. Detta arbete bidrar till att öka kunskapen om flexibla, transparenta och nanostrukturerade material som används för tillverkning av biologiska kraftkällor.

Abstract [en]

The thesis is focused on biological electric power sources based on transparent and flexible nanostructured electrodes. The power generating part of these biodevices was decorated with different biomaterials electrically wired to transparent electrodes based on either thin gold films, or indium tin oxide. Planar electrodes were additionally nanostructured by applying different nanomaterials to the electrode surfaces (such as indium tin oxide nanoparticles, graphene, carbon nanotubes) or by using nanoimprint lithography to increase the real surface area and thus boost enzyme loading. Bilirubin oxidase was used a cathodic biocatalyst for oxygen electroreduction, whereas different biomaterials were exploited as anodic bioelements, viz. redox enzymes (cellobiose and glucose dehydrogenase, as well as glucose oxidases) and thylakoid membranes, for glucose electrooxidation and light harvesting, respectively. Charge-storing parts of biodevices were based on electroconducting polymers, e.g. poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), carbon nanotubes, graphene, and indium tin oxide nanoparticles. The bioelectrodes were characterised in detail electrochemically, and also using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Transparent, membrane-free enzymatic fuel cells, as well as chemical and solar biosupercapacitors were assembled and basic parameters of biodevices, viz. open-circuit voltages, power and charge density, as well as stability, were studied in continuous and pulse operating modes.
