  "term": "Enzymatic fuel cell",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A specific type of biofuel cell that generates electrical energy by using enzymes as catalysts to facilitate electrochemical reactions. These devices oxidize fuels like glucose or alcohols at the anode and reduce an oxidant like oxygen at the cathode, converting chemical energy directly into electricity. Unlike conventional fuel cells that require precious metal catalysts and high temperatures, enzymatic fuel cells operate under mild conditions, such as room temperature and neutral pH.",
