Still further provided is a fuel cell with an anode compartment and a cathode compartment adapted to operate with a hydrogen peroxide as electron acceptor molecule, the fuel cell comprising: a first barrier separating the anode compartment and the cathode compartment, but effective to transport protons from the anode compartment to the cathode compartment; and a second barrier separating the anode compartment and the cathode compartment, which is more proximate to the cathode compartment than the first, wherein the second barrier is a biocompatible membrane or a proton-conductive polymeric membrane, the second barrier fitted to limit the diffusion of hydrogen peroxide to the first barrier. |
