| Popis: | Hydroxyl compounds can be oxidized in a fuel cell using an illuminated sulfonated anthraquinone electron mediator to obtain electricity. Carbohydrates are also good fuels. These include glucose, fructose, sucrose, starch and molasses. The sucrose, molasses and starch require hydrolytic enzyme pre-treatments for maximum power output. These fuels generally produced 2000–3000 coulombs/gram fuel and were oxidized through 2 to 3 steps (2 e− per step). Generally, about 1.8 kg (4 lbs) fuel was required to produce 1 kWh electricity. |
