Problems solved by technology

However, in fuel cells, natural gas, oil, coal, etc., which are generally converted into hydrogen using a reformer, and hydrogen is used as fuel, there is a problem that limited resources are consumed
In addition, there is a problem that the fuel cell needs to be heated to a high temperature and requires a catalyst composed of a heavy metal such as platinum (Pt)
Similarly, there is no detailed consideration of the mass ratio of glucose dehydrogenase and diaphorase
Also, there is no detailed consideration of the molecular weight of poly-L-lysine

Abstract

Disclosed is a fuel cell wherein current density and retention rate thereof can be improved when at least glucose dehydrogenase and diaphorase are immobilized onto a negative electrode by an immobilization material which is composed of a poly-L-lysine and glutaraldehyde. The fuel cell has a structure wherein a positive electrode (2) and a negative electrode (1) face each other through an electrolyte layer (3), and the negative electrode (1) is obtained by immobilizing at least glucose dehydrogenase and diaphorase onto an electrode by using an immobilization material composed of a poly-L-lysine and glutaraldehyde. The mass ratio between the poly-L-lysine and glutaraldehyde in the immobilization material is set at from 5:1 to 80:1, and the mass ratio between glucose dehydrogenase and diaphorase is set at from 1:3 to 200:1. The poly-L-lysine has an average molecular weight of not less than 21,500.
