| Abstract | Alkanes are attractive fuels for fuel cells due to their high energy density, but their use has not transitioned to biofuel cells. This paper discusses the development of a novel enzyme cascade utilizing alkane monooxygenase (AMO) and alcohol oxidase (AOx) to perform mediated bioelectrocatalytic oxidation of hexane and octane. This was then applied for the bioelectrocatalysis of the jet fuel JP-8, which was tested directly in an enzymatic biofuel cell to evaluate performance. The enzymatic catalysts were shown to be sulfur tolerant and produced power densities up to 3 mW/cm(2) from native JP-8 without desulfurization as opposed to traditional metal catalysts, which require fuel preprocessing. |
