Abstract
Enzyme biofuel cells (EBFCs) can convert chemical or biochemical energy in fuel into electrical energy, and therefore have received widespread attention. EBFCs have advantages that traditional fuel cells cannot match, such as a wide range of fuel sources, environmental friendliness, and mild reaction conditions. At present, research on EBFCs mainly focuses on two aspects: one is the use of nanomaterials with excellent properties to construct high-performance EBFCs, and the other is self-powered sensors based on EBFCs. This article reviews the applied nanomaterials based on the working principle of EBFCs, analyzes the design ideas of self-powered sensors based on enzyme biofuel cells, and looks forward to their future research directions and application prospects. This article also points out the key properties of nanomaterials in EBFCs, such as electronic conductivity, biocompatibility, and catalytic activity. And the research on EBFCs is classified according to different research goals, such as improving battery efficiency, expanding the fuel range, and achieving self-powered sensors.

Hierarchical Porous Metal-Organic Framework as Biocatalytic Microreactor for Enzymatic Biofuel Cell-Based Self-Powered Biosensing of MicroRNA Integrated with Cascade Signal Amplification. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2301654.

Abstract
Enzymatic biofuel cells have become powerful tools in biosensing, which however generally suffer from the limited loading efficiency as well as low catalytic activity and poor stability of bioenzymes. Herein, the hierarchical porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are synthesized using tannic acid (TA) for structural etching, which realizes co-encapsulation of glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+ ) cofactor in zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-L) and are further used as the biocatalytic microreactors to modify bioanode. In this work, the TA-controlled etching can not only expand the pore size of microreactors, but also achieve the reorientation of enzymes in their lower surface energy form, therefore enhancing the biocatalysis of cofactor-dependent enzyme. Meanwhile, the topological DNA tetrahedron is assembled on the microreactors, which acts as the microRNA-responsive "lock" to perform the cascade signal amplification of exonuclease III-assisted target recycling on bioanode and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) on biocathode. The proposed self-powered biosensor has achieved a detection limit as low as 2 aM (6 copies miRNA-21 in a 5 µL of sample), which is further successfully applied to identify cancer cells and clinical serums of breast cancer patients based on the different levels of miRNA-21, holding great potential in accurate disease identification and clinical diagnosis.

Nat Commun 2023; 14:297. [PMID: 36653362 PMCID: PMC9849227 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-35990-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2022] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
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.

A self-powered and drug-free diabetic wound healing patch breaking hyperglycemia and low H 2O 2 limitations and precisely sterilizing driven by electricity. Chem Sci 2022; 13:12136-12143. [PMID: 36349095 PMCID: PMC9601455 DOI: 10.1039/d2sc04242h] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 09/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Accelerating diabetes-related chronic wound healing is a long-sought-after goal in diabetes management. However, therapeutic strategies based on antibiotics or catalysts still face great challenges to break the limitations of antimicrobial resistance, low H2O2 and the blocking effect of bacterial biofilms on antibiotic/catalyst penetration. Herein, we reported a glucose biofuel cell-powered and drug-free antibacterial patch, which consisted of an MAF-7 protected glucose oxidase/horseradish peroxidase anode and a horseradish peroxidase cathode, for treating diabetic wounds. This self-powered patch could take high blood glucose as fuel to generate electricity and abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) in situ, synergistically regulating local hyperglycemia and breaking the limitations of insufficient ROS caused by low H2O2 levels. In particular, the electric field created by the GBFC could drive the negatively charged bacteria to adhere firmly to the electrode surface. As a result, the ROS produced in situ on the electrodes was localized to the bacteria, realizing precise sterilization. In vivo experiments confirmed that this self-powered patch enabled the wounds on diabetic mice to take a mere 10 days to eliminate inflammation and form mature skin with new hair follicles, demonstrating its great potential in treating bacteria-infected diabetic wounds.
