In recent years the use of energy is an important topic. Defectiveness in consumption of fossil fuels as an energy source induces searching to cleaner and more efficient fuels. One alternative source in energy is BFC. BFC is a subclass of fuel cell and a suitable contribution to facility the future of power generation. It has potential to convert the energy of biofuels to electrical energy by means of enzymes or microorganisms as a biocatalyst.
As a sustainable technology, biofuel cells (BFCs) have recently attracted significant interest owing to their unique ability to convert chemical energy stored in biodegradable substances directly into electricity. Enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs) and microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are two important parts of the BFC system, in which devices with renewable redox enzymes and/or microorganisms are used as the catalysts to perform natural oxidation processes at the anode, resulting in the release of electrons and the generation of an electrical current.
