Enzymes as working or inspirational electrocatalysts for fuel cells and electrolysis.

TL;DR: Fuel cells vary greatly in their power output, ranging from large-scale building-integrated systems, known as “combined heat and power” systems, to those that provide just enough power to operate electronics in special circumstances, such as an implanted device for sensing and controlling glucose levels in the body.

Improving the environment for immobilized dehydrogenase enzymes by modifying Nafion with tetraalkylammonium bromides.

TL;DR: The ability to immobilize dehydrogenase enzymes in Nafion that has been modified with quaternary ammonium bromides is examined to determine the activity of the immobilized enzyme and to examine the transport of coenzyme within the membrane.
