Previously, we demonstrated that plants could acquire electronic functionality, as their enzymatic activity catalyzes the in vivo polymerization of water-soluble conjugated oligomers. We then leveraged plant-integrated conductors to develop biohybrid energy storage devices and circuits. Here, we extend the concept of plant biohybrids to develop plant-based energy-harvesting devices. We demonstrate plant biohybrids with modified roots that can convert common root exudates, such as glucose, to electricity. To do so, we developed a simple one-step approach to convert living roots to glucose-sensitive electrodes by dipping the root in a solution of the conjugated trimer ETE-S and the enzyme glucose dehydrogenase flavin adenine dinucleotide. The biohybrid device responds to glucose concentrations down to 100 \u03bcM while it saturates at 100 mM. The performance of our approach was compared with a classic mediator-based glucose biosensor functionalization method. While the latter method increases the stability of the sensor, it results in less sensitivity and damages the root structure. Finally, we show that glucose oxidation can be combined with the volumetric capacitance of p(ETE-S)-forming devices that generate current in the presence of glucose and store it in the same biohybrid root electrodes. The plant biohybrid devices open a pathway to biologically integrated technology that finds application in low-power devices, for example, sensors for agriculture or the environment.", "doi": "10.1021/acsabm.4c01425", "pmid": "39625339", "labels": {"Swedish Metabolomics Centre": "Service"}, "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC11653237"}], "notes": [], "created": "2025-11-18T12:06:25.765Z", "modified": "2025-11-18T12:06:25.925Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "5bae73c3a26a413b8e4db6f078c8c5a4", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/5bae73c3a26a413b8e4db6f078c8c5a4.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/publication/5bae73c3a26a413b8e4db6f078c8c5a4"}}, "title": "Biohybrid Energy Storage Circuits Based on Electronically Functionalized Plant Roots.", "authors": [{"family": "Parker", "given": "Daniela", "initials": "D"}, {"family": "Dar", "given": "Abdul Manan", "initials": "AM"}, {"family": "Armada-Moreira", "given": "Adam", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0002-1598-5784", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/bcd30e8ddbc748df9bb5ff991173bd25.json"}}, {"family": "Bernacka Wojcik", "given": "Iwona", "initials": "I"}, {"family": "Rai", "given": "Rajat", "initials": "R", "orcid": "0000-0003-2175-0428", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/845eb8a09d894df4868de22ef7937acb.json"}}, {"family": "Mantione", "given": "Daniele", "initials": "D", "orcid": "0000-0001-5495-9856", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/cef165ee5ac34d5a8896d36867047878.json"}}, {"family": "Stavrinidou", "given": "Eleni", "initials": "E", "orcid": "0000-0002-9357-776X", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications.scilifelab.se/researcher/c311228cbcaa470ca772ab894000f45d.json"}}], "type": "journal article", "published": "2024-03-05", "journal": {"title": "ACS Appl Mater Interfaces", "issn": "1944-8252", "issn-l": "1944-8244"}, "abstract": "Biohybrid systems based on plants integrate plant structures and processes into technological components targeting more sustainable solutions. Plants' biocatalytic machinery, for example, has been leveraged for the organization of electronic materials directly in the vasculature and roots of living plants, resulting in biohybrid electrochemical devices. Among other applications, energy storage devices were demonstrated where the charge storage electrodes were seamlessly integrated into the plant tissue. However, the capacitance and the voltage output of a single biohybrid supercapacitor are limited. Here, we developed biohybrid circuits based on functionalized conducting roots, extending the performance of plant based biohybrid energy storage systems. We show that root-supercapacitors can be combined in series and in parallel configuration, achieving up to 1.5 V voltage output or up to 11 mF capacitance, respectively. We further demonstrate that the supercapacitors circuit can be charged with an organic photovoltaic cell, and that the stored charge can be used to power an electrochromic display or a bioelectronic device. Furthermore, the functionalized roots degrade in composting similarly to native roots. The proof-of-concept demonstrations illustrate the potential of this technology to achieve more sustainable solutions for powering low consumption devices such as bioelectronics for agriculture or IoT applications.", "doi": "10.1021/acsami.3c16861", "pmid": "38441544", "labels": {"Integrated Microscopy Technologies Ume\u00e5": "Service", "Cryo-EM": "Service"}, "xrefs": [], "notes": [], "created": "2024-11-13T12:53:50.143Z", "modified": "2024-11-13T12:53:50.718Z"}]}
