Abstract

Design of a photosynthetic/metabolic based bio-fuel-cell and fabrication processes to make it have been explored and developed. Novel nanostructure and modified Poly-aniline have been used to enhance the performance of the new bio-fuel cell. The mechanism of the electron transfer process and the electro-catalysis of Poly-aniline have been investigated. The developed Direct Photosynthetic/metabolic Bio-Fuel Cells(DPBFC) with 150muA/cm² current density have been demonstrated
