This topical review focuses on self-powered electrochemical sensor devices that use wearable biofuel cells (BFCs) that generate electricity from body fluid components, such as glucose in urine and lactate in sweat. The advantages of using BFCs as power sources for wearable health monitoring devices are discussed herein. Recently developed porous carbon materials with controlled interfaces and spaces are also explored for enhancing the output power and stability of BFCs. We describe a printed wearable high-power BFC that uses body fluids as a fuel. This topical review also explains several challenges existing in the development of self-driving health monitoring devices, such as their power output and stability.

本专题综述重点介绍自供电电化学传感器设备，该设备使用可穿戴生物燃料电池 (BFC)，该电池从体液成分（如尿液中的葡萄糖和汗液中的乳酸）发电。本文讨论了使用 BFC 作为可穿戴健康监测设备的电源的优势。最近开发的具有受控界面和空间的多孔碳材料也被探索用于提高 BFC 的输出功率和稳定性。我们描述了一种打印的可穿戴高功率 BFC，它使用体液作为燃料。这篇专题评论还解释了自动驾驶健康监测设备开发中存在的几个挑战，例如它们的功率输出和稳定性。
