ENZYME-BASED PHOTOELECTROCHEMICAL CELL FOR ELECTRIC CURRENT GENERATION
摘要
The invention provides a photobiological fuel cell converting chemical energy possessed by a carbon-containing compound and light energy into electrical energy. A positive electrode (24) and a negative electrode (23) provided with an electrolyte (26) interposed between them are arranged as constituents. An electromotive force is generated across the positive electrode (24) and the negative electrode (23) by an oxidation reaction involving an electrochemical reception of electrons from carbon-containing compound by an external electric circuit via the intermediacy of a photosensitizer molecule excited by light, an oxidation-reduction mediator, catalytic enzymes, and reduction reactions at a positive electrodes (24).
