Abstract(in English) Small-sized glucose fuel cells are expected for biomedical applications. In this work, a glucose fuel cell was fabricated using microelectromechanical system (MEMS) microfabrication processes. The fuel cell was equipped with microchannels to introduce an aqueous glucose solution. It was fabricated on a flexible polyimide (PI) substrate, and the porous carbon-coated Al electrodes with a total area of 2.8mm width and 11.5mm length were formed using a screen printing technique and photolithography. The porous carbon was deposited by screen printing of a carbon black ink onto the Al electrode surfaces in order to effectively increase the specific electrode surface areas to increase more enzyme adsorbed on the electrode surfaces. The glucose flow channels with the depth of 200μm were fabricated using a hot embossing technique. The maximum power and power density of 0.45μW and 1.45μW/cm^2 at 0.5V were realized by introducing a glucose solution of 200mM at room temperature.
