Biofuel cells offer biocompatibility and operation at mild conditions, but application is limited by relatively low output power. Here the authors use layer-by-layer assembly for glucose oxidase-coated metallic cotton fibers for use as electrodes in a hybrid biofuel cell to achieve high output power.
