Over the last 40 years, researchers have been studying and improving enzymatic biofuel
cells, but until the last five years, the technology was plagued by short active lifetimes …

The continuous search for alternative energy sources, imposed by economic and
environmental concerns, has motivated investigations into clean and efficient alternatives for …

Quaternary ammonium bromide salt-treated Nafion membranes provide an ideal
environment for enzyme immobilization. Because these quaternary ammonium bromide salt …

Recent research in our group has shown that mixture-casting Nafion with quaternary
ammonium bromides can increase the electrochemical flux of redox couples through the …

Glycerol is an attractive fuel for a fuel cell, because it is non-toxic, non-volatile, non-
flammable, has high energy density, and is abundant due to the fact that it is a byproduct of …

One of the limitations of lab-on-a-chip technology has been the lack of integrated power
supplies for powering various devices on the chip. This research focused on design of a …

This research compares the mass transport and ion-exchange properties of two
hydrophobically modified micellar polymers, chitosan and Nafion. It was shown that …

The citric acid cycle is one of the main metabolic pathways living cells utilize to completely
oxidize biofuels to carbon dioxide and water. The overall goal of this research is to mimic the …

Previous work in our group has shown that hydrophobic modification of chitosan and
Nafion® membranes can be used to alter the transport properties of chemically modified …

Recent interest in the field of biocommodities production through bioelectrochemical
systems has generated interest in the enzyme catalyzed redox reactions. Enzyme catalyzed …
