Despite the fact that enzyme-based biofuel cells progressed a lot in the last 20 years reaching the state where the electrodes operate in vivo being implanted in living organisms, the motivation for their design is not always clear. In most of the published papers the authors claim their use as a source of sustainable power extracted from renewable biological...
