Mediatorless electrocatalytic oxygen reduction with catalase on mercury–gold amalgam microelectrodes

Catalase is known for its ability to catalyze disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. This work reports the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyzed by catalase, with a decreased activation energy manifested by a positive shift (+0.2 V) in onset potential. Direct bioelectroca...
