Abstract
•This review describes the field of implantable biofuel cells.•A chronological evolution of the implantable glucose fuel cells is presented.•The electrochemical performances of GFCs implanted in mammals are compared.•Problems of biocompatibility and location of biofuel cell in the body are discussed.
This review summarizes different approaches and breakthroughs of implantable fuel cells from the first noble-metal glucose fuels to the recent use of biocatalysts for selective glucose oxidation and oxygen reduction inside mammal's bodies.
