Enzymatic electrodes with high internal capacitance, based on cellulose/polypyrrole composite were optimized and utilized to design improved enzymatic fuel cell. Fructose dehydrogenase Gluconobacter sp. specifically adsorbed on the cellulose/polypyrrole matrix and electrophoretically immobilized and electrochemically entrapped Laccase Trametes versicolor, were used as the anode and cathode bioelectrocatalysts, respectively. The cellulose/polypyrrole composite film exhibited pseudocapacitive properties under mild pH conditions. Following modification with carboxylic groups the composite material enabled highly efficient adsorption of enzyme and provided good electrical contact between the enzymatic active sites and the electrode surface. The modified cellulose/polypyrrole composite based electrode was used for the anode leading to mediatorless fructose oxidation giving large catalytic current density, 12.8mAcm(-2). Laccase and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) as the mediator entrapped in the cellulose/polypyrrole composite film generated dioxygen reduction current density of 2mAcm(-2). Application of pseudocapacitive matrix and decreasing the distance between electrodes to 1mm lead to improvement of the biofuel cell power output and its regeneration ability. The power of the cell was found to increase by introduction of a preconditioning step during which the cell was kept at open circuit voltage under fuel flow. After 24h of preconditioning the matrix was recharged and the device output reached the power, 2.1mWcm(-2) and OCV, 0.59V.

The integration of polypyrrole (PPy) into bacterial cellulose (BC) has provided significant conductivity and cost benefits. However, this combination has led to a reduction in mechanical properties, particularly in terms of elongation at break and tensile strength. This study investigated the enhancement of BC/PPy composite films by incorporating polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).

Natural polymers as battery components have a number of advantages, including availability, biodegradability, unleakage, stable form, superior process, electrochemical stability, and low cost. In other sides, conductive polymers can improve the electrochemical properties of the battery, such as charge/discharge rates, cycling stability, and overall energy storage capacity. Therefore, the combination of these two materials can provide acceptable features.

Carbon materials derived from bacterial cellulose have been studied in lithium-ion batteries due to their low cost and flexible characteristics. However, they still face many intractable problems such as low specific capacity and poor electrical conductivity. Herein, bacterial cellulose is used as the carrier and skeleton to creatively realize the composite of polypyrrole on its nanofiber surface.

Flexible strain sensors have recently attracted great attention due to their promising applications in human motion detection, healthcare monitoring, human-machine interfaces, and so forth. However, traditional uniaxial strain sensors can only detect strain in a single direction. Herein, an anisotropic flexible strain sensor is fabricated based on conductive and highly aligned cellulose composite nanofibers, via facile electrospinning cellulose acetate, deacetylation, and in situ polymerization of pyrrole, to detect complex multidimensional strains.
