The up-to-date research as far as it concerns the abiotic direct glucose fuel cells (DGFCs) is summarized and discussed in the present review. Platinum and goldbased as well as Raney-type electrocatalysts are among the most studied ones. In abiotically (non-implantable) DGFCs, unsupported Pt and PtRuO 2 , exhibited good activity (power density *20 mW cm -2 ), at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure. On the other hand, Au-based electrocatalysts adopted in a DGFC resulted in power densities up to ca. 5 mW cm -2 , exhibiting however high poisoning tolerance. Recently, after the introduction of alkaline membranes into the market, Pd-based electrocatalysts have attracted the attention of the research community because of their enhanced activity in alkaline media. However, there are still very few investigations where membrane electrode assemblies with palladium electrocatalysts have been applied. Moreover, Raney-type electrocatalysts, not yet examined for other fuels in direct polymer electrolyte fuel cells, are considered to be the most appropriate for implantable abiotic DGFCs. A novel implantable fuel cell in a human brain performed with 3.4 9 10 -3 lW power for 10 h adopting Raney-type electrocatalysts.

“…Hence, biofuels are a more popular power source in vivo. Researchers have also examined glucose-mediated strategies like glucose/O 2 [105,106,107] and glucose/air for in vivo powering [108]. Additionally, Hansen et al have demonstrated the potential of using a combination of piezoelectric effects and biofuels to build a self-powered system in vivo [109].…”

Over the past decade, synthesized nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotube, nanoparticle, quantum dot, and nanowire, have already made breakthroughs in various fields, including biomedical sensors. Enormous surface area-to-volume ratio of the nanomaterials increases sensitivity dramatically compared with macro-sized material. Herein we present a comprehensive review about the working principle and fabrication process of nanowire sensor. Moreover, its applications for the detection of biomarker, virus, and DNA, as well as for drug discovery, are reviewed. Recent advances including self-powering, reusability, sensitivity in high ionic strength solvent, and long-term stability are surveyed and highlighted as well. Nanowire is expected to lead significant improvement of biomedical sensor in the near future.

“…These modified mesoporous silicon membranes were integrated in a specially designed miniature alkaline (pH 13) glucose/air fuel cell prototype using a conventional platinum-carbon anode and a cobalt phthalocyanine-carbon nanotube cathode. The enhanced anion conductivity of these membranes leads to peak power densities of 7 ± 0.12 mW.cm −2 at "air breathing" conditions at room temperature (25). articles have mentioned also the high cycling stability of porous silicon anode thank to the limitation of volume expansion during lithium insertion and its consecutive damages for the electrode performance (26).…”

The evolution of porous silicon (PSi) from its early studies in the late 70’s toward its industrial application in microelectronics is described in this article. The way this material can be integrated now in many devices at a wafer level is shown in this paper through examples of prototypes that include PSi in their fabrication process. For instance, realization of devices on large area wafers in the field of RF passive components, energy micro-sources or porous flexible membranes are described. In this paper, we also show recent advances in the field of PSi etching and integration at an industrial level. In particular, we put an emphasis on reproducibility and homogeneity issues, on the wafer warp management using different annealing procedures.
