Yeast-DMFC device using glucose as fuel: analytical and energetic applications. Preliminary results
We carried out a preliminary study, using a Direct Catalytic Methanol (or Ethanol) Fuel Cell (DMFC) in association with yeast cells (Saccharomices Cerevisiae), both to evaluate the possibility of analytically determining glucose solutions of unknown concentration, and to determine the power (in μW) obtainable from a solution with a fixed glucose concentration.
