Fig. 5

a Illustration of series-connected enzymatic biobatteries (fructose/O2 biobattery) for driving transdermal EOF through the PMN. b The current–voltage and power–voltage characteristics of the biobatteries on a cotton cloth containing physiological saline and 0.2 M D-fructose. c The typical time-course of the transdermal current generated through a piece of pig skin by the biobattery with (red) and without (black) PMN. d Illustration of the FDH-anode on a pig skin combined with a PAMPS-modified PMN (0.05 M AMPS) and cotton containing 0.2 M fructose and 0.75 mg/mL FITC-dextran. The representative cross-sectional fluorescent image was taken after a 1 h application of the power of the biobattery (N = 3 independent experiments for each sample). e Illustration of the BOD-cathode on a pig skin combined with a PAMPS-filled PMN (1.5 M AMPS) and a plain cotton receiver. The concentration of glucose extracted with (red bar) and without (black bar) the application of power of biobattery for 1 h (N = 3 independent experiments; mean ± SD).
