Abstract

We present a new generation of microfuel cells that take advantage of the enhanced properties of paper microfluidic platforms. Ultimately, these furl cells are to be totally printed and compatible with the fabrication processes of current lateral flow tests so they can be readily integrated within the device to be powered. This will achieve simplicity, ease of use portability and low environmental impact not offered ba any of the state-of-the-art solutions.
