Problems solved by technology

However, these electrodes have a problem that it is difficult to adopt any desired shape, and pressure should be applied to form the structure of the power supply unit, that is, a membrane electrode assembly (MEA), thus increasing complexity
In this membrane electrode assembly, the electrode thickness is fixed, so it is very difficult to form

[0094] [Electrodes used to manufacture enzyme-immobilized electrodes]

[0095] figure 1 A shows the electrode 10 for manufacturing an enzyme-immobilized electrode according to the first embodiment.

[0096] Such as figure 1 As shown in A, an electrode 10 for manufacturing an enzyme-immobilized electrode comprises a mixture comprising carbon particles and a water-insoluble hydrophilic binder. The mixture usually contains at least carbon particles and a water-insoluble hydrophilic binder as main components, and preferably consists of carbon particles and a water-insoluble hydrophilic binder. For example, the ratio of the mass of the water-insoluble hydrophilic binder to the mass of the carbon particles in the mixture is 0.01 or more and 1 or less.

[0097] For example, the carbon particles are carbon black (ketjen black, ...

Embodiment 1

[0107] Electrode 10 for manufacturing an enzyme-immobilized electrode was formed using Ketjen black as carbon particles and ethyl cellulose as a water-insoluble hydrophilic binder in the following manner.

[0108] 1 g of Ketjen Black and 0.4 g of ethylcellulose were mixed, 7.5 g of terpineol was added to the mixture, and the mixture was stirred twice for 10 minutes each to prepare paste 12.

[0109] Such as image 3 As shown in A, a nonwoven fabric 14 is used as the substrate 11 . Such as image 3 As shown in B, the paste 12 was coated on a non-woven fabric 14 with a thickness of 50 μm by a coating machine, and heated on a hot plate at 75° C. for 2 hours to dry and remove terpineol.

[0110] In this way, the electrode 10 for manufacturing an enzyme-immobilized electrode comprising Ketjen black and ethyl cellulose was formed on the nonwoven fabric 14 . At this time, the formed electrode 10 for manufacturing an enzyme-immobilized electrode is partially buried in the nonwoven ...

Abstract

Provided are: an enzyme-immobilized electrode wherein an enzyme can be easily immobilized, while maintaining the enzyme active; an electrode for the production of an enzyme-immobilized electrode, which is suitable for use in the production of this enzyme-immobilized electrode; and a biofuel cell which uses this enzyme-immobilized electrode. In a biofuel cell which has a structure wherein a positive electrode and a negative electrode face each other with a proton conducting body interposed therebetween and which is configured so that electrons are extracted from a fuel using an enzyme, an electrode, on which an enzyme is immobilized and which is formed of a mixture containing carbon particles and a hydrophilic binder that is not soluble in water, is used as the positive electrode and / or the negative electrode. Ketjen black or the like is used as the carbon particles, and ethyl cellulose or the like is used as the binder.
