The edge of graphene has long attracted special attention due to its distinct physical and chemical properties in contrast to the graphitic basal plane. Electrochemistry at an isolated graphene edge (GrEdge) electrode has been systematically studied recently. We have shown that we can achieve high mass transport rates for electroactive species at the one-dimensional edge, which has enable…
Grand challenges such as the fabrication of sensing devices for early diagnosis of cancer and detection of food/water contamination can only be addressed with concerted efforts in multidisciplinary research. Selected problems within the above challenges will be tackled in this Project by a multiinstitutional team of physicists, chemists, engineers, medical doctors and computer scientists,…
The production of value-added products from enzymes or redox proteins found in nature is limited. This limitation can be overcome in the laboratory by modifying native enzymes, or by obtaining artificial apo-reconstituted proteins. In this project, we intend to contribute to frontier research in the area of metalloprotein bioengineering and to obtain new apo-reconstituted structures. Thus…
Redox processes play a critical role in maintaining life on Earth, and they are facilitated by biomolecules. In 2020, we described in Nature Communications how and why the copper-containing bilirubin oxidase (BOD) is an exceptional biocatalyst for the O2 reduction reaction (ORR). A longstanding goal of our research group is the establishment of new frontiers in in-situ techniques for the …

The use of enzymes to reduce CO2 and N2 for the bioelectrosynthesis of value-added products is a promising alternative to replace high-cost synthetic catalysts. For this purpose, interesting results have been obtained with the use of EcFDH-H and Mo-Fe nitrogenase enzymes immobilized on electrode surfaces. However, the bioelectrocatalytic and charge transfer mechanisms of these enzymes hav…

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a facultative anaerobic fungus capable of performing extracellular electron transfer (EET) to solid surfaces, as electrodes, and, therefore, it has been used as a biocatalyst in microbiological fuel cells. Despite recent studies about the EET mechanism of this microorganism, none addresses the individual contributions of each cell to the process. Hence, this pr…
The preparation of biomolecule-nanostructure bioconjugates is a crucial step in the development of lateral flow immunoassays. Besides the high cost of reagents and biomolecules (e.g., proteins and monoclonal antibodies), the conjugation process between them and the metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) involves several experimental steps that require a lot of time, as in the case of the passive a…
The Bioelectrochemistry and Interfaces Group coordinated by Professor Frank Crespilho has an excellent track record in the fabrication of bioelectrodes based on the modification and engineering of carbon materials with various biomolecules, including enzymes, coenzymes, and single-cell organisms, seeking practical applications in biodevices, biofuel cells, and biosensors. More recently, i…

This research project aims the development and integration of nanostructured electrochemical devices for application in microchips, including organic batteries, biofuel cells and on-chip biosensors. In 2018, we began a scientific collaboration with Harvard University, where miniaturized batteries were developed for application in the new generation of microelectronics. These microbatterie…
Wearable batteries are anticipated to revolutionize the field of personalized medicine and reduce healthcare costs by enabling the widespread adoption of wearable sensors. However, the current lack of a suitable power source poses a significant hurdle to the advancement of wearable sensor technology. To address this challenge, our group in Brazil has proposed the utilization of bioinspire…
The development of biocatalysts for the bioelectrosynthesis of value-added compounds such as formate and ammonia has attracted great attention in the field of bioelectrochemistry. In addition to being highly efficient at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, biocatalysts are environmentally sustainable. The microbial surface display system can overcome some limitations of biocatalyst…
