Glucose Oxidase Immobilized Biofuel Cell Flow Channel Geometry Analysis By Cfd Simulations, Sali̇h Obut, Tahsi̇n Bahar
Glucose Oxidase Immobilized Biofuel Cell Flow Channel Geometry Analysis By Cfd Simulations, Sali̇h Obut, Tahsi̇n Bahar
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Glucose oxidase was covalently immobilized to a porous electrode, which was developed by using ferrocene functionalized polyethyleneimine, multiwall carbon nanotubes, and carbon cloth for biofuel cell applications in our recent studies. The kinetics parameters (i.e. k$_{M}$, V$_{max})$ and other parameters required for the modeling study were determined experimentally. Fuel cell flow channel geometry was analyzed by a computational fluid dynamics modeling approach. Substrate flow rate and mass transfer for each proposed channel type were considered in the simulations. The results showed that serpentine type flow channels are advantageous over pin type or parallel flow channels to acquire sufficient performance from …

Stability Improvement By Crosslinking Of Previously Immobilized Glucose Oxidase On Carbon Nanotube-Based Bioanode, Tahsi̇n Bahar
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Bioanode stability with glucose oxidase was enhanced significantly by covalent crosslinking without substantial enzymatic activity and affinity loss. Initially, glucose oxidase was immobilized by aldehyde groups on the electrode that was developed using ferrocenecarboxaldehyde, polyethyleneimine, multiwall carbon nanotubes, and carbon cloth for biofuel cell applications. The glucose oxidase half-life was extended by more than 4 times, from 27.2 to 124.7 h, after the electrode was crosslinked. Enzymatic kinetic parameters were determined for the crosslinked enzyme and they were compared to the noncrosslinked immobilized enzyme parameters on the electrode. The apparent substrate affinity of the crosslinked enzyme electrode was decreased (i.e. …
