“…This can aid in the upliftment of healthcare in low-resource settings by providing quick, easy and affordable diagnosis of common health conditions. So far, methanol [10], hydrazine hydrate [11], hydrogen gas (generated in-situ) [7], formic acid [5], formate [12] and hydrogen peroxide [13,14] have been employed as fuels in different PFCs. The typical range of the reported peak power density is 0.5 mW cm − 2 to 100 mW cm − 2 [7].…”

This work demonstrates the application of a urea-powered paper-based fuel cell (PFC) with Hydrogen Peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) as the oxidant to drive a exible electronic circuit (ring oscillator (RO)), for the rst time.Herein, the electrochemical performance of membraneless PFCs is studied by employing different nonprecious electrodes, such as, Nickel-mesh, Toray carbon paper(CP) and Nickel Cobalt nanoparticles supported on reduced Graphene Oxide loaded on the CP (NiCo@rGo@CP). A single-PFC with Ni-Co@rGo@CP as electrodes delivers a peak power density (P max ) of 55 µW cm − 2 , maximum current density (J max ) of 371 µA cm − 2 and an open-circuit voltage (OCV) of 0.7 V at 3 M urea. A membranebased PFC assembled onto an anion exchange membrane with Ni-Co@rGo@CP electrodes, delivers a P max of approx 70 µW cm − 2 , J max of ≈ 500 µA cm − 2 and an OCV of 0.7 V at 3 M urea. Subsequently, a stack of two membrane-based PFCs delivers an OCV of ≈ 1.4 V for 400 seconds. Finally, this stack is employed as a power source to drive a RO. The measured frequency and peak-to-peak voltage are 37.52 kHz and 1.04 V, respectively. This demonstration opens a window to implement self-contained exible electronic system using PFC as power source with minimal e-waste.

The traditional electric furnace pyrolysis to produce heteroatom-doped carbon faces the time-consumption issue due to the fixed size of furnace chamber and indirect heat transfer. Herein a fast Joule-heating pyrolysis method, viz., powering on the C, N, Fe-containing, conductive polyaniline precursor at fixed direct current (DC) voltage for a specific time, is put forward. The polyaniline precursor begins to decompose thermally when being powered with a DC voltage of 5.0 V upwards. In the pyrolysis products, Fe and N co-doping of carbon material leads to C-N bonding and C-Fe bonding in a certain way. The direct peroxide-peroxide fuel cell (DPPFC) with the optimal Fe, N codoped carbon material as anode and cathode can generate an open circuit voltage of 0.85 V and a peak power density of 29.7 mW cm−2 in ambient temperature, which is highly competitive compared with other DPPFCs with anode and/or cathode made of noble metals.

Catalytic valveless micropumps, and membraneless fuel cells are the class of devices that utilize the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen. Nonetheless, a significant obstacle that endures within the discipline pertains to the pragmatic open circuit potential (OCP) of hydrogen peroxide FCs (H2O2 FCs), which fails to meet the theoretical OCP. Additionally, bubble formation significantly contributes to this disparity, as it disrupts the electrolyte's uniformity and interferes with reaction dynamics. In addition, issues such as catalyst degradation and poor kinetics can impact the overall cell efficiency. The development of high‐performance H2O2‐FCs necessitates the incorporation of selective electrocatalysts with a high surface area. However, porous micro‐structures of the electrode impedes the transport of fuel and the removal of reaction byproducts, thereby hindering the attainment of technologically significant rates. To address these challenges, including bubble formation, the review highlights the potential of integrating electrokinetic and bubble‐driven micropumps. An alternative approach involves the spatiotemporal separation of fuel and oxidizer through the use of laminar flow‐based fuel cell (LFFC). The present review addresses multifaceted challenges of H2O2‐powered FCs, and proposes integration of electrokinetic and bubble‐driven micropumps, emphasizing the critical role of bubble management in improving H2O2 FC performance.
