摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a porous conductive material capable of efficiently performing enzymatic metabolic reactions on the electrode and also capable of easily obtaining a stable enzyme immobilization electrode without depending on the operating environment.

SOLUTION: By coating the surface of a skeleton 1 made of a porous material with a carbon-based material 2, the porous conductive material with three-dimensional network structure is formed. Metal foam or alloy foam is used as the porous material constructing the skeleton 1. The electrode is formed by using this porous conductive material, and the enzyme immobilization electrode is formed by immobilizing the enzyme onto this electrode. For example, this enzyme immobilization electrode is applied to a negative electrode of a bio-fuel cell.
