Abstract

This paper presents Bio Fuel Cell (BFC) without catalyst. In this paper partly complete model of one implantable BFC has been simulated and fabricated which was experimented by Krezenmacher and some others in an in-vitro medium. The material of cathode and anode is cloth Carbone, and the membrane is made of PVA-PAA, which is an electrically insulated polymer and it has the capability of diffusion in glucose. Impressive peak power density for BFC is 14 n Wcm-2 between 115 -- 125m Volt. For simulating BFC we used finite elements analysis based COMSOL 3.5 Multiphysics software.
