Abstract
A biofuel cell device for generating electrical current, comprising a fuel manifold, an anode assembly, a cathode assembly, a housing, and a controller is described. The anode assembly comprises at least one catalyst positioned for contact with fuel fluid in said fuel reservoir. The cathode assembly comprises at least one biocathode positioned for flow of an oxidant to the biocathode enzyme. The housing houses the manifold, anode assembly and cathode assembly. The controller controls the output of electrical current from the biofuel cell device.

50. A biocathode comprising
an electron conductor; -
a cathode enzyme capable of gaining electrons from the electron conductor and reacting with an oxidant to produce water, a precious metal catalyst or a combination of metal complexes wherein each metal complex in the combination has a different reduction potential; and an enzyme immobilization material capable of immobilizing and stabilizing the enzyme, the immobilization material being permeable to the oxidant. - View Dependent Claims (51, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122)
