The Centre for Clean Energy is pleased to receive its 2nd SUPERGEN grant, awarded by the EPSRC as part of the Biofuel Cells Consortium of £2million, in collaboration with the Universities of Oxford, Surry, Glasgow, Glamorgan and East Anglia, and several industrial partners. The consortium aims to develop high power density biological fuel cells, converting chemical / biochemical energy into electrical energy using biocatalysts, generating fuel through metabolic processes or catalysing electron transfer between the fuel and the bioelectrode. Unlike conventional fuel cells, BioFCs operate at ambient temperatures, atmospheric pressure and neutral pH, of benefit to the environment, waste management, portable electronics and implantable medical devices. The effort at QMUL, led by Prof. Xiao Guo, will focus on the development of novel electrodes and the electrode/enzyme biointerface.
