Here, we present a novel mediator-free multi-ply BFC that overcomes these limitations and exhibits both substantially high-power output and long-term operational stability. Our approach involves the utilization of interfacial interaction-induced assembly between hydrophilic glucose oxidase (GOx) and hydrophobic conductive indium tin oxide nanoparticles (ITO NPs) with distinctive shapes, along with a multi-ply electrode system. For the preparation of anode, GOx and oleylamine-stabilized ITO NPs with bipod/tripod type were covalently assembled onto the host fiber electrode composed of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). Remarkably, despite the contrasting hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, this interfacial assembly approach allows for the formation of nanoblended GOx/ITO NP film, enabling efficient electron transfer within the anode. Our approach can provide a basis for the development of high-performance BFCs.
