Abstract
The most promising application of the biofuel cells is implantable devices, so the biofuel cells should have an appropriate shape for the vascular vessel. We demonstrated the biofuel cell roll for using in tubes. MWNTs were aggregated by vacuum filtration on a nitrocellulose membrane filter, which was biocompatible and flexible. The MWNT aggregated nitrocellulose membrane used the electrodes of the biofuel cells because it was conductive as well as nanostuructured. Then, the membrane was rolled into the roll shape. The maximum power density of the biofuel cell roll was $7.9{\mu}W/cm^2$ at 153mV and 50 mM glucose. Also, the power density is expected to increase in its practical application if there is flow in the tube, which makes the transportation of fuel easy. The biofuel cell roll contacts with the wall of the tube, so flow in the tube does not disturb. Also, the biofuel cell roll has multi-layers offering more electroactive area.
