Abstract

This study is focused on the utilization of waste microalgal sludge (MS) from microalgal extraction and its potential as an electrode material. The MS was activated under N₂ at high temperature for conversion to biochar (MSB). In addition, cobalt (Co; metal hydroxide) and chitosan were used as a mediator for electron transfer by immobilization on MSB (MSB/Co/chitosan). Through analysis of the surface and components of the MSB/Co/chitosan, it was shown that Co and chitosan were properly synthesized with MSB. The enzymatic fuel cell (EFC) system successfully obtained a power density of 3.1 mW cm⁻² and a current density of 9.7 mA cm⁻². In addition, the glucose biosensors applied with the developed electron transfer mediator showed a sensitivity of 0.488 mA mM⁻¹ cm⁻².
