Reaction-specific platinum electrodes for implantable glucose fuel cells: versatile fabrication by cyclic electrodeposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new versatile method for the generation of ultra porous noble metal electrodes based on cyclic Pt-Cu electrodeposition and anodic Cu dissolution. Performing this method, electrodes with tailored roughness factors (RF exceeding up to 2031) and thus reaction-specificity can be fabricated. Applied in implantable glucose fuel cells, the novel process enables a by 14 % increased power density compared to state of the art, at significantly reduced platinum consumption and substantially facilitated fabrication.
