This paper reports the development and optimization of a glucose/O2 biofuel cell. At the anode, the glucose oxidn. was performed by glucose oxidase (GOx) co-immobilized with a phenanthrenequinone mediator. At the cathode, the catalysis of O2 using tetrathiafulvalene and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) was demonstrated for the 1st time. The open circuit voltage (OCV) of the optimized biofuel cell reached 0.32 V, and the max. power d. achieved was 40.8 $μ$W cm-2 at 0.2 V. This original new GBFC showed quasi-stability in both OCV and power d. for {\textgreater}25 days. [on SciFinder(R)]
