“…For GC-gold catalyst (Figure 11(b)) first peak was observed at the potential −0.42 V. Location of this peak agrees with the results obtained by Feng [30] who performed experiments in 0.1 M NaOH using gold nanoparticle-chitosan composite film as a catalyst. Pasta and co-workers [25,31], suggested that this peak can be attributed to dehydrogenation of anomeric carbon, in good agreement with the results of Basu et al [24].…”

“…As a catalyst material the metal nanoparticles [20][21][22] or enzyme can be used. In fact, in the literature there is a significant number of publications, containing information about potential application of sugar in alkaline fuel cells (AFC) [23][24][25]. It was also found that gold nanoparticles surface modified with glucose oxidase can be used as biosensor for detecting glucose [26].…”

In this study the catalytic properties of gold nanoparticles in electro-oxidation process of glucose, were investigated, taking into account, an influence of catalyst composition. Graphene oxide was applied and for electro-oxidation studies of glucose, cyclic voltamperometry was used. It was found that an application of graphene oxide sheets during catalyst synthesis have an influence on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) size and size distribution. It was confirmed that the application of composite catalyst consisting of graphane-AuNPs significantly changes electro-oxidation of glucose shifting the potential of oxidation to higher positive values and increasing oxidation current.

Direct oxidation alkaline fuel cells (DOAFCs) possess particular advantages on the possibility of employing low cost non-noble metal catalysts. A wide range of fuels can be used due to superior reaction kinetics in alkaline media. The development of DOAFCs was hindered by the carbonation of electrolyte due to the presence of CO 2 . The application of the anion exchange membrane (AEM) provides the possibility of reducing the effect of carbonation and fuel crossover which is an issue in the proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The latest developments in alkaline fuel cells are examined in this paper, considering different types of fuels, novel catalysts and anion exchange membranes. Moreover, alkaline fuel cell systems and configurations are studied, particularly the new designs for portable or microelectronic devices. Further development of DOAFCs will rely on novel AEMs with good ionic conductivity and stability, low cost non-Pt catalysts with high activity and good stability for various fuels and oxidant. We envisage that DOAFCs will play a major role in energy research and applications in the near future.

“…In most of the MFCs studies so far, acetate and glucose have been the substrate of choice for electricity generation (Pant et al, 2010). These substrates are commonly used as carbon source in MFCs because of their inertness towards alternative microbial conversions, and cheap and readily available (Basu and Basu, 2010). In a MFC, substrate is regarded as one of the most important biological factors that influence the integral composition of the bacterial community in the anodic biofilm and the MFC performance including power density and coulombic efficiency (Chae et al, 2009;Liu et al, 2009;Lu et al, 2009;Oh and Logan, 2006;Pant et al, 2010).…”
