The book provides a critical review of biofuel cell technology, including principles, components, applications, obstacles, and prospects, and assesses the economic, safety, health, and environmental implications. Sections focus on the diversity of biomass resources, the fundamental characteristics of biomass, the major effects of biomass composition variations on biofuel cell technology, and a thorough review of the research literature on approaches for decreasing the detrimental impacts of biomass variability on fuel cells.
In addition, a comprehensive examination of biofuel cell technology's current state and applications is presented that is supported by an explanation of the fundamentals, concepts, mechanisms, characteristics, optimal parameters, analytical characterization techniques, diverse types, all-category materials, catalysts, engineering designs, implantable biofuel cells, applications, and critical criteria. A variety of applications are addressed, including power implanted devices in biomedical applications, biosensors for smart communities, and nanomaterials for biofuel cells, among others. For each application, unresolved issues are identified, and solutions proposed.
- Critically evaluates a range of biofuel cell applications from energy generation biomedical applications
- Presents solutions to the current challenges in biofuel cell research, notably how to improve current and power density output, cell design, and long-life operation
- Provides an economic performance assessment, as well as health, safety, and environmental assessments
- Explores the use of a diverse range of carbohydrate-based biomass resources
- Discusses recent advances and unique biofuel cell nanomaterial techniques, as well as various immobilization methods for incorporating the nanomaterial matrix and performance analysis methodologies

Kishor Kumar Sadasivuni
Dr. Kishor Kumar Sadasivuni is currently working as a Research Assistant Professor and the group leader of SmartNanoSolutions at Center for Advanced Materials, Qatar University. Dr. Kishor’s research has its roots from the analytical chemistry he mastered during his Master’s degree in Andhra University, India. He received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from University of South Brittany at Lorient, France in 2012 under the supervision of the Prof. Yves Grohens and Prof. Sabu Thomas. He has to his credit a vast experience of postdoctoral research as he has been to this position firstly at the Inha University at South Korea (Professor Jeahwan Kim Supervisor, 2014) and then two times at Qatar University (Professor Mariam Al-Madeed,2015 and Dr. John-John Cabibihan,2017). He was appointed to the Center for Advanced Materials at Qatar University in 2018 as a Research Associate from which he has been promoted to his present designation as Research assistant Professor in June 2021. He has been included in the world’s top 2 % scientists according to a list compiled by Stanford University in the year 2019 and for this he was recently honored by the QU. He has enormous knowledge and valuable experience in his field owing to over 12 years of active research research experience of 12 years. Dr. Kishor has more than 250 research articles published in international peer reviewed journals with a total citation of 4850 and h-index 37. He is also the author of 20 book chapters and the editor of 8 books. His books were included in Springer Top 25 e-book download of the year 2020. Some of Dr. Kishor’s inventions are protected by 2 US patents and 2 Indian patents and presently 5 patent disclosures have been submitted by him. He is a group leader and is presently the lead principal investigator for 11 research projects, covering the NPRP, UREP, IRCC grants of Qatar National Research Fund and the Qatar University. He is also involved in other three research grants as the principal investigator, summarizing a total grant amount of 3M$. Dr. Kishor is a team player and has collaborated actively with researchers (more than 450 co-authors as evident from the Scopus data) in several disciplines of computer science, biomedical sciences, industrial engineering, and electrical engineering from all over the world (USA, France, South Korea, Oman, Spain, Italy, Australia, Malaysia).
