alone, self-powered wireless glucose-sensing system that operates and sends signals using only the power generated in the cell without any external power source can be constructed. However, application of biofuel cells in power biosensors and implantable devices presents some inherent problems, one of which is the low power output of the self-powered electrochemical sensors, i.e. fuel cells with power output as an analytical signal proportional to the analyte concentration, have a series of advantages: (i) these analytical devices have a simple design of only two electrodes; (ii) biosensors with this configuration are powered by biological fluids opening the possibility … Recent advances in nanotechnology have had an impact on biosensors and biofuel cells, especially carbon nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon nanodots (CNDs), buckypaper, graphene oxide (GO), and carbon nanosponges. These nanomaterials have high conductivity and strong biocompatibility. being one of the types of chemical sensors, biosensors are self-contained and integrated devices with specific quantitative or semi-quantitative analytical information and are based on a biological recognition element spatially- integrated with the transducer, which converts recognition evidence into a read- out signal.3enzymes, … Additionally, the foldability feature of the paper has been recently exploited to design and fabricate 3D multifarious biosensors, which are able to detect different target analytes by using enzymes, antibodies, DNA, molecularly imprinted polymers, and cells as biocomponents. Immuno-biosensors or immunochemical bio­sensors work on the principle of immunological specificity, coupled with measurement (mostly) based on amperometric or potentiometric bio­sensors. There are several possible configurations for immuno-biosensors and some of them are depicted in Fig. 21.18, and briefly described hereunder. 1. We expect that the advanced electrochemical biosensors based on BFCs with the unique self-powered capability will continue attracting increasing research interest and lead to new opportunities in various attractive applications related to analytical chemistry.

Sweat-based wearable diagnostics biosensors using room-temperature ionic liquids (adapted from ref. 43 ). overcome this dependence on silicon-based electronics and their inherent limitations in self-powered chemical sensors and biosensors. The use of electrochromic materials in the construction of self-powered displays is hardly new,12-14 but their application in stand-alone quantitative analytical devices is.3,15,16 Regarding the 3D structure, the origami biosensor was conceived with a test pad surrounded by three folding pads for loading the enzymatic substrate (substrate pad), the enzyme (enzymatic pad), and the sample (sample pad) ( Figure 1 C). The substrate pad was folded above the test pad and some μL of substrate solution was added onto the pad. suitable enzyme based electrodes employed as biosensors towards carbohydrates and molecular oxygen, as
