The design of biofuel cell anodes with substantially decreased potential is a prerequisite for the development of biofuel cells with large open-circuit voltage and power density. Redox polymers with covalently attached phenothiazine derivatives such of thionine acetate, toluidine blue, azure B simultaneously providing epoxide functions for covalent binding to suitably modified electrode surfaces and crosslinking were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to transfer electrons from the FAD cofactor of the flavodehydrogenase domain of cellobiose dehydrogenase from Myriococcum thermophilum (FAD-MtCDH), the flavodehydrogenase domain of cellobiose dehydrogenase from Corynascus thermophilus (FAD-CtCDH), or glucose oxidase from Aspergillus niger (GOx). Polymer/enzyme films were covalently bound via polymer bound epoxy groups to terminal amino functions introduced to graphite electrode surfaces by electrochemically induced grafting of diaminoheptane or Boc-protected ethylene diamine (EDA). The electrodes were optimized for biocatalytic glucose oxidation with respect to the hydrophilicity of the polymer backbone, the nature of the phenothiazine derivative, the pH value, as well as the relative amount of enzyme, polymer and crosslinker. Biofuel cells based on toluidine blue-modified redox polymers with integrated FAD-MtCDH, FAD-CtCDH, or GOx in combination with a bilirubin oxidase based biocathode exhibited open-circuit voltages of more than 0.7V and maximum power densities in the range of 4 to 6μWcm −2 at a pH value of 7.8.
