Abstract
Biophysical and clinical medical studies have confirmed that biological tissue lesions and trauma are related to the damage of an intrinsic electret (i.e., endogenous electric field), such as wound healing, embryonic development, the occurrence of various diseases, immune regulation, tissue regeneration, and cancer metastasis. As exogenous electrical signals, such as conductivity, piezoelectricity, ferroelectricity, and pyroelectricity, bioelectroactives can regulate the endogenous electric field, thus controlling the function of cells and promoting the repair and regeneration of tissues. Materials, once polarized, can harness their inherent polarized static electric fields to generate an electric field through direct stimulation or indirect interactions facilitated by physical signals, such as friction, ultrasound, or mechanical stimulation. The interaction with the biological microenvironment allows for the regulation and compensation of polarized electric signals in damaged tissue microenvironments, leading to tissue regeneration and repair. The technique shows great promise for applications in the field of tissue regeneration. In this paper, the generation and change of the endogenous electric field and the regulation of exogenous electroactive substances are expounded, and the latest research progress of the electret and its biological effects in the field of tissue repair include bone repair, nerve repair, drug penetration promotion, wound healing, etc. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of electret materials in tissue repair were summarized. Exploring the research and development of new polarized materials and the mechanism of regulating endogenous electric field changes may provide new insights and innovative methods for tissue repair and disease treatment in biological applications.

Biofuel cell-based self-powered immunosensor for detection of 17β-estradiol by integrating the target-induced biofuel release and biogate immunoassay. Mikrochim Acta 2024; 191:477. [PMID: 39039391 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-024-06553-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024]
Abstract
A novel biofuel cell (BFC)-based self-powered electrochemical immunosensing platform was developed by integrating the target-induced biofuel release and biogate immunoassay for ultrasensitive 17β-estradiol (E2) detection. The carbon nanocages/gold nanoparticle composite was employed in the BFCs device as the electrode material, through which bilirubin oxidase and glucose oxidase were wired to form the biocathode and bioanode, respectively. Positively charged mesoporous silica nanoparticles (PMSN) were encapsulated with glucose molecules as biofuel and subsequently coated by the negatively charged AuNPs-labelled anti-E2 antibody (AuNPs-Ab) serving as a biogate. The biogate could be opened efficiently and the trapped glucose released once the target E2 was recognized and captured by AuNPs-Ab due to the decreased adhesion between the antigen-antibody complex and PMSN. Then, glucose oxidase oxidized the glucose to produce a large number of electrons, resulting in significantly increased open-circuit voltage (EOCV). Promisingly, the proposed BFC-based self-powered immunosensor demonstrated exceptional sensitivity for the detection of E2 in the concentration range from 1.0 pg mL-1 to 10.0 ng mL -1, with a detection limit of 0.32 pg mL-1 (S/N = 3). Furthermore, the prepared BFC-based self-powered homogeneous immunosensor showed significant potential for implementation as a viable prototype for a mobile and an on-site bioassay system in food and environmental safety applications.

Abstract
On-demand engineering of cell membrane receptors to nongenetically intervene in cellular behaviors is still a challenge. Herein, a membraneless enzyme biofuel cell-based self-powered biosensor (EBFC-SPB) was developed for autonomously and precisely releasing Zn2+ to initiate DNAzyme-based reprogramming of cell membrane receptors, which further mediates signal transduction to regulate cellular behaviors. The critical component of EBFC-SPB is a hydrogel film on a biocathode which is prepared using a Fe3+-cross-linked alginate hydrogel film loaded with Zn2+ ions. In the working mode in the presence of glucose/O2, the hydrogel is decomposed due to the reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+, accompanied by rapid release of Zn2+ to specifically activate a Zn2+-responsive DNAzyme nanodevice on the cell surface, leading to the dimerization of homologous or nonhomologous receptors to promote or inhibit cell proliferation and migration. This EBFC-SPB platform provides a powerful "sensing-actuating-treating" tool for chemically regulating cellular behaviors, which holds great promise in precision biomedicine.

Abstract
In recent years, tremendous effort is devoted to developing platforms, such as implantable drug delivery systems (IDDSs), with temporally and spatially controlled drug release capabilities and improved adherence. IDDSs have multiple advantages: i) the timing and location of drug delivery can be controlled by patients using specific stimuli (light, sound, electricity, magnetism, etc.). Some intelligent "closed-loop" IDDS can even realize self-management without human participation. ii) IDDSs enable continuous and stable delivery of drugs over a long period (months to years) and iii) to administer drugs directly to the lesion, thereby helping reduce dosage and side effects. iv) IDDSs enable personalized drug delivery according to patient needs. The high demand for such systems has prompted scientists to make efforts to develop intelligent IDDS. In this review, several common stimulus-responsive mechanisms including endogenous (e.g., pH, reactive oxygen species, proteins, etc.) and exogenous stimuli (e.g., light, sound, electricity, magnetism, etc.), are given in detail. Besides, several types of IDDS reported in recent years are reviewed, including various stimulus-responsive systems based on the above mechanisms, radio frequency-controlled IDDS, "closed-loop" IDDS, self-powered IDDS, etc. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of various IDDS, bottleneck problems, and possible solutions are analyzed to provide directions for subsequent research.

Abstract
17β-Estradiol (E2) is an important endogenous estrogen, which disturbs the endocrine system and poses a threat to human health because of its accumulation in the human body. Herein, a biofuel cell (BFC)-based self-powered electrochemical aptasensor was developed for E2 detection. Porous carbon nanocage/gold nanoparticle composite modified indium tin oxide (CNC/AuNP/ITO) and glucose oxidase modified CNC/AuNP/ITO were used as the biocathode and bioanode of BFCs, respectively. [Fe(CN)6]3- was selected as an electroactive probe, which was entrapped in the pores of positively charged magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (PMNPs) and then capped with a negatively charged E2 aptamer to form a DNA bioconjugate. The presence of the target E2 triggered the entrapped [Fe(CN)6]3- probe release due to the removal of the aptamer via specific recognition, which resulted in the transfer of electrons produced by glucose oxidation at the bioanode to the biocathode and produced a high open-circuit voltage (EOCV). Consequently, a "signal-on" homogeneous self-powered aptasensor for E2 assay was realized. Promisingly, the BFC-based self-powered aptasensor has particularly high sensitivity for E2 detection in the concentration range of 0.5 pg mL-1 to 15 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 0.16 pg mL-1 (S/N = 3). Therefore, the proposed BFC-based self-powered electrochemical aptasensor has great promise to be applied as a successful prototype of a portable and on-site bioassay in the field of environment monitoring and food safety.

Abstract
Developing a dual-photoelectrode fuel cell based self-powered sensor (DPFC-SPS) with an ideal signal output capability and high sensitivity performance for the detection of environmental pollutant atrazine (ATZ) has an important value. In this work, the in situ molecularly imprinting functionalized p-type organic semiconductor polyterthiophene (MI-pTTh) is used as a photocathode to construct a DPFC-SPS toward the typical environmental pollutant ATZ for the first time. Due to its excellent photoactivity, higher stability, and superior oxygen reduction reaction activity, pTTh serves as the photocathode material for constructing a self-powered sensing platform with a stable signal output and high photoelectric activity. Based on the sensitive light-triggered large self-bias of the DPFC-SPS, the open circuit potential (EOCV) of the device reaches 1.21 V and the maximum power density (Pmax) reaches 121.5 μW·cm-2, which is much higher than most reported PFC-SPSs. Simultaneously, in situ molecularly imprinted (MI) functionization of pTTh can further endow it with specific recognition ability, helping the constructed SPS achieve high sensitivity, selectivity, and effective recognition of the important environmental pollutants ATZ in complex systems. It exhibits a broad linear relationship from 0.002 to 100 nM and a low detection limit (estimated by S/N > 3) of 0.21 pM toward ATZ. The mechanism of the binding kinetics of the MI-pTTh with the target ATZ is further studied via in situ infrared spectroscopy. This work provides theoretical guidance for sensing strategies using dual-photoelectrode devices and offers a rational device design for cost-effective electricity generation from renewable resources.

Abstract
Self-powered sensing system (SPSS) integrating the enzymatic biofuel cell and biosensing platform has attracted tremendous interest. However, natural enzymes suffer from the intrinsic drawbacks of enzymes and enzymatic proteins. Nanozymes with enzyme-like activities are the ideal alternatives to enzymes, and it is greatly challenging to explore high-performance nanozymatic biofuel cell for SPSS. Herein, the advanced nanozymatic biofuel cell-enabled SPSS is developed for the sensitive detection of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA), where Ir single atoms supported by nitrogen-doped carbon and Au nanozymes serve as the cathode and anode, respectively. Based on the excellent electrochemical activity and stability, the resultant nanozymatic biofuel cell exhibits a higher power output and open-circuit potential than the Pt/C-based counterpart, which is beneficial for the application of SPSS. As a proof of concept, the nanozymatic biofuel cell-enabled SPSS shows a wide detection range of 0.2-500 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 62 pg mL-1 for PSA, which provides new insight into broadening the application scenarios of nanozymes.

Abstract
The past few decades have seen increasingly rapid advances in the field of sustainable energy technologies. As a new bio- and eco-friendly energy source, enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs) have garnered significant research interest due to their capacity to power implantable bioelectronics, portable devices, and biosensors by utilizing biomass as fuel under mild circumstances. Nonetheless, numerous obstacles impeded the commercialization of EBFCs, including their relatively modest power output and poor long-term stability of enzymes. To depict the current progress of EBFC and address the challenges it faces, this review traces back the evolution of EBFC and focuses on contemporary advances such as newly emerged multi or single enzyme systems, various porous framework-enzyme composites techniques, and innovative applications. Besides emphasizing current achievements in this field, from our perspective part we also introduced novel electrode and cell design for highly effective EBFC fabrication. We believe this review will assist readers in comprehending the basic research and applications of EBFCs as well as potentially spark interdisciplinary collaboration for addressing the pressing issues in this field.

Abstract
Recent advances in enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs) have resulted in great progress in health monitoring and supplying power to medical applications, such as drug delivery. On the other hand, to enhance the electric field-assisted transdermal permeation for facial mask application, an external power source is usually required. Herein, we attempted to combine an EBFC with a facial mask so that the microcurrent generated can boost the transdermal permeability of target molecules in the facial mask essence. When screen-printed onto a polypropylene-based non-woven fabric, the three-layered flexible EBFC could produce a voltage of ∼0.4 V and a maximum power density of 23.3 μW cm-2, leading to an approximately 2-3-fold increase in permeated nicotinamide, arbutin, and aspirin levels within 15 min compared to non-iontophoretic transdermal drug delivery. Both cell viability and animal experiments further demonstrated that the EBFC-powered iontophoresis worked well in living animals with good biocompatibility. These results suggest that the EBFC-powered iontophoretic facial mask can effectively improve the permeation of drugs and holds a promise for the possible cosmetic application.

Abstract
Wearable transdermal iontophoresis eliminating the need for external power sources offers advantages for patient-comfort when deploying epidermal diseases treatments. However, current self-powered iontophoresis based on energy harvesters is limited to support efficient therapeutic administration over the long-term operation, owing to the low and inconsistent energy supply. Here we propose a simplified wearable iontophoresis patch with a built-in Mg battery for efficient and controllable transdermal delivery. This system decreases the system complexity and form factors by using viologen-based hydrogels as an integrated drug reservoir and cathode material, eliminating the conventional interface impedance between the electrode and drug reservoir. The redox-active polyelectrolyte hydrogel offers a high energy density of 3.57 mWh cm-2, and an optimal bioelectronic interface with ultra-soft nature and low tissue-interface impedance. The delivery dosage can be readily manipulated by tuning the viologen hydrogel and the iontophoresis stimulation mode. This iontophoresis patch demonstrates an effective treatment of an imiquimod-induced psoriasis mouse. Considering the advantages of being a reliable and efficient energy supply, simplified configuration, and optimal electrical skin-device interface, this battery-powered iontophoresis may provide a new non-invasive treatment for chronic epidermal diseases.

Abstract
AbstractFuel cell reactors can be tailored to simultaneously cogenerate value-added chemicals and electrical energy while releasing negligible CO2 emissions or other pollution; moreover, some of these reactors can even “breathe in” poisonous gas as feedstock. Such clean cogeneration favorably offsets the fast depletion of fossil fuel resources and eases growing environmental concerns. These unique reactors inherit advantages from fuel cells: a high energy conversion efficiency and high selectivity. Compared with similar energy conversion devices with sandwich structures, fuel cell reactors have successfully “hit three birds with one stone” by generating power, producing chemicals, and maintaining eco-friendliness. In this review, we provide a systematic summary on the state of the art regarding fuel cell reactors and key components, as well as the typical cogeneration reactions accomplished in these reactors. Most strategies fall short in reaching a win–win situation that meets production demand while concurrently addressing environmental issues. The use of fuel cells (FCs) as reactors to simultaneously produce value-added chemicals and electrical power without environmental pollution has emerged as a promising direction. The FC reactor has been well recognized due to its “one stone hitting three birds” merit, namely, efficient chemical production, electrical power generation, and environmental friendliness. Fuel cell reactors for cogeneration provide multidisciplinary perspectives on clean chemical production, effective energy utilization, and even pollutant treatment, with far-reaching implications for the wider scientific community and society. The scope of this review focuses on unique reactors that can convert low-value reactants and/or industrial wastes to value-added chemicals while simultaneously cogenerating electrical power in an environmentally friendly manner.

Engineering bio-interfaces for the direct electron transfer of Myriococcum thermophilum cellobiose dehydrogenase: Towards a mediator-less biosupercapacitor/biofuel cell hybrid. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 210:114337.

Abstract
Direct electron transfer (DET) of enzymes on electrode surfaces is highly desirable both for fundamental mechanistic studies and to achieve membrane- and mediator-less bioenergy harvesting. In this report, we describe the preparation and comprehensive structural and electrochemical characterization of a three-dimensional (3D) graphene-based carbon electrode, onto which the two-domain redox enzyme Myriococcum thermophilum cellobiose dehydrogenase (MtCDH) is immobilized. The electrode is prepared by an entirely novel method, which combines in a single step electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide (GO) and simultaneous electrodeposition of positively charged polyethylenimine (PEI), resulting in a well dispersed MtCDH surface. The resulting MtCDH bio-interface was characterized structurally in detail, optimized, and found to exhibit a DET maximum current density of 7.7 ± 0.9 μA cm-2 and a half-lifetime of 48 h for glucose oxidation, attributed to favorable MtCDH surface orientation. A dual, entirely DET-based enzymatic biofuel cell (EBFC) was constructed with a MtCDH bioanode and a Myrothecium verrucaria bilirubin oxidase (MvBOD) biocathode. The EBFC delivers a maximum power density (Pmax) of 7.6 ± 1.3 μW cm-2, an open-circuit voltage (OCV) of 0.60 V, and an operational lifetime over seven days, which exceeds most reported CDH based DET-type EBFCs. A biosupercapacitor/EBFC hybrid was also constructed and found to register maximum power densities 62 and 43 times higher than single glucose/air and lactose/air EBFCs, respectively. This hybrid also shows excellent operational stability with self-charging/discharging over at least 500 cycles.

Abstract
The proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reaction plays an important role in promoting many biological and chemical reactions. Usually, the rate of the PCET reaction increases with an increase in the electron transfer distance because long-range electron transfer requires more free energy barriers. Our density functional theory calculations here reveal that the mechanism of PCET occurring in lysine-containing alpha(α)-helixes changes with an increasing number of residues in the α-helical structure and the different conformations because of the modulation of the excess electron distribution by the α-helical structures. The rate constants of the corresponding PCET reactions are independent of or substantially shallower dependent on the electron transfer distances along α-helixes. This counter-intuitive behavior can be attributed to the fact that the formation of larger macro-cylindrical dipole moments in longer helixes can promote electron transfer along the α-helix with a low energy barrier. These findings may be useful to gain insights into long-range electron transfer in proteins and design α-helix-based electronics via the regulation of short-range proton transfer.

Abstract
The growth relationship between exosomes (EXOs) and the host cells is highly desired for tumor evaluations, which puts forward high demand on the accurate and convenient acquisition of their individual quantitative information. However, the tedious and destructive separation process and the requirement of dual-channel detection make it become an extremely challenging task. Herein, we integrated an enzymatic biofuel cell (EBFC)-powered biosensor with a flow cell-supported membrane separation device (FMSC) to develop a continuous separation and detection platform for EXOs and host cancer cells in human serum. The FMSC equipped with an aluminum oxide membrane served as a size-dependent sorting unit to nondestructively extract EXOs from human serum within 5 min, representing a 99.3% reduction in isolating time compared to ultracentrifugation. The EBFC-powered biosensors modified with different aptamers on anodes and cathodes were used as a dual-channel sensing unit. By regulating the controlling valves of different fluid passages, the extracted EXOs and residual host cells could be successively inputted into EBFC-powered biosensors, which generated a segmental degradation in output performance due to the EXO-and host cell-caused increase in the steric hindrance of anodes and cathodes, respectively. Based on these degradations, we obtained the quantitative information of EXOs and host cells with a record-breaking sensitivity (EXOs: 5.59 × 103 particles/mL and host cells: 25 cells/mL). Moreover, the growth relationship between EXOs and host cells was also built, which would be beneficial for the disclosure of the growth state or even more detailed biology information of tumor.

Abstract
The detection of microRNA (miRNA) in human serum has great significance for cancer prevention. Herein, a novel self-powered biosensing platform is developed, which effectively integrates an enzymatic biofuel cell (EBFC)-based self-powered biosensor with a matching capacitor for miRNA detection. A catalytic hairpin assembly and hybrid chain reaction are used to improve the analytical performance of EBFC. Furthermore, the matching capacitor is selected as an auxiliary signal amplifying device, and graphdiyne is applied as substrate material for EBFC. The results confirm that the developed method obviously increases the output current of EBFC, and the sensitivity can reach 2.75 μA/pM, which is 786% of pure EBFC. MiRNA can be detected in an expanded linear range of 0.1-100000 fM with a detection limit of 0.034 fM (S/N = 3). It can offer a selective and sensitive platform for nucleotide sequence detection with great potential in clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is one powerful tool in the sensing field, in which the electrochemical workstation is necessary to achieve the electrical/optical signal conversion in the presence of luminescent agents. By contrast, biofuel cells (BFCs) can also provide electricity from renewable biofuels under moderate conditions. More importantly, BFCs with the features of adjustable voltage output and excellent compatibility would well meet the requirement of working voltages for different ECL devices. However, to the best of our knowledge, the BFC-driven luminous system has not been reported. In this work, we constructed, for the first time, a BFC-driven ECL system with fast and stable signal outputs. To demonstrate the proof-of-concept of the BFC-ECL system, the sensitive and selective detection of histidine was achieved, exhibiting great potential among point-of-care diagnoses in remote regions. Overall, this work not only paves a new way for the conversion of chemical energy, electrical energy, and luminous system but also explores the new application of BFC.

Abstract
Enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs) is one of the branches of fuel cells that can provide high potential for various applications. However, EBFC has challenges in improving the performance power output. Exploring electrode materials is one way to increase enzyme utilization and lead to a high conversion rate so that efficient enzyme loading on the electrode surface can function correctly. This paper briefly presents recent technologies developed to improve bio-catalytic properties, biocompatibility, biodegradability, implantability, and mechanical flexibility in EBFCs. Among the combinations of materials that can be studied and are interesting because of their properties, there are various nanoparticles, carbon-based materials, and conductive polymers; all three have the advantages of chemical stability and enhanced electron transfer. The methods to immobilize enzymes, and support and substrate issues are also covered in this paper. In addition, the EBFC system is also explored and developed as suitable for applications such as self-pumping and microfluidic EBFC.

Abstract
A compact antibiotic delivery system based on enzymatic biofuel cells was prepared, in which ampicillin was released when discharged in the presence of glucose and O2. The release of ampicillin was effective in inhibiting the growth of bacterium Escherichia coli as confirmed by ex situ and in situ release studies in culture media.

Biosens Bioelectron 2020; 167:112500. [PMID: 32829175 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2020.112500] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2020] [Revised: 08/04/2020] [Accepted: 08/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Aggregation of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) due to π-π stacking is a recurrent problem in graphene-based electrochemistry, decreasing the effective working area and therefore the performance of the RGO electrodes. Dispersing RGO on three-dimensional (3D) carbon paper electrodes is one strategy towards overcoming this challenge, with partial relief aggregation. In this report, we describe the grafting of negatively charged 4-aminobenzoic acid (4-ABA) onto a graphene functionalized carbon paper electrode surface. 4-ABA functionalization induces separation of the RGO layers, at the same time leading to favorable orientation of the blue multi-copper enzyme Myrothecium verrucaria bilirubin oxidase (MvBOD) for direct electron transfer (DET) in the dioxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at neutral pH. Simultaneous electroreduction of graphene oxide to RGO and covalent attachment of 4-ABA are achieved by applying alternating cathodic and anodic electrochemical potential pulses, leading to a high catalytic current density (Δjcat:193 ± 4 μA cm-2) under static conditions. Electrochemically grafted 4-ABA not only leads to a favorable orientation of BOD as validated by fitting a kinetic model to the electrocatalytic data, but also acts to alleviate RGO aggregation as disclosed by scanning electron microscopy, most likely due to the electrostatic repulsion between 4-ABA-grafted graphene layers. With a half-lifetime of 55 h, the bioelectrode also shows the highest operational stability for DET-type MvBOD-based bioelectrodes reported to date. The bioelectrode was finally shown to work well as a biocathode of a membrane-less glucose/O2 enzymatic biofuel cell with a maximum power density of 22 μW cm-2 and an open circuit voltage of 0.51 V.

Abstract
Polytetrafluoroethylene submicro-rod materials, serving as micro-scaled "oxygen tanks" and binders, have been mixed into Os redox polymer-based bilirubin oxidase cathodes, leading to both enhanced limiting current density of the oxygen reduction reaction in neutral pH and operational stability over 16 hours.
