Direct-transfer biopile
First Claim
1. A biocell or biosensor electrode intended to be immersed in a liquid medium containing a target and an oxidizer, respectively a reducer, wherein the anode comprises an enzyme capable of catalyzing the oxidation of a target, and the cathode comprises an enzyme capable of catalyzing the reduction of the oxidizer, and wherein each of the anode and cathode electrodes is formed of a solid concretion of carbon nanotubes mixed with the enzyme, and has an electrode wire fixedly attached thereto.
