“…The development of new enzymatic catalysts for the oxygen (O 2 ) reduction to water (H 2 O) in cathodes of biofuel cells is one of the main goals sought by different research groups working in this field (Barton et al, 2004 ; Heller, 2004 ; Minteer et al, 2007 ; Cooney et al, 2008 ; Cracknell et al, 2008 ; Moehlenbrock and Minteer, 2008 ; Willner et al, 2009 ; Luckarift et al, 2014 ). For this purpose, laccases and, more generally, blue copper oxidases, have received considerable attention because of their ability to catalyze the electrochemical O 2 reduction when immobilized on metallic or carbonaceous electrodes (Gupta et al, 2004 ; Shleev et al, 2005a , b , 2006 ; Blanford et al, 2007 ; Klis et al, 2007 ; Tominaga et al, 2008 ; Murata et al, 2009 ; Schubert et al, 2009 ; Dos Santos et al, 2010 ; Ivnitski et al, 2010 ; Climent et al, 2012 , 2014 ; Dagys et al, 2014 ; Pankratov et al, 2014 ; Adam et al, 2016 ; Di Bari et al, 2016 ; Bogdanovskaya et al, 2017 ; Jamshidinia et al, 2017 ). It has been shown that laccases, or related enzymes, can be as effective as platinum, with an onset for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) similar to the one found in this metal, but cheaper to prepare or to find in nature (Mano et al, 2003 ; Dos Santos et al, 2010 ).…”
