title: Improving O2reduction at an enzymatic biocathode: mimicking the lungs.
abstract: Here, we demonstrate the use of phospholipid micelles to enhance O2concentrations by two-fold at the surface of a bilirubin oxidase biocathode. Specifically, 1,2-diarachidoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine was used in a glucose enzymatic fuel cell to limit power losses due to O2transport, even in a quiescent solution.
