Shelley D. Minteer (born 1975) is an American academic and chemistry professor at the University of Utah. Minteer field of study focuses on the interface between biocatalysts and enzyme-based electrodes for biofuel cells and sensors.

Contents

Education and early career

Minteer received a bachelor's in chemistry from Western Illinois University in 1995 [1] [2] and earned her doctorate under the supervision of Johna Leddy from the University of Iowa in 2000. [1] [3] In 2000, Minteer joined Saint Louis University as an assistant professor. [4] While there she joined the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) education academy. [5] At Saint Louis University, Minteer worked on several inventions, including drug delivery systems, enzymes, and novel electrodes. [6] She developed enzyme immobilization membranes to improve the stability of biosensor and biofuel electrodes. [7] [8] In 2003 Minteer and her graduate student Nick Akers co-founded Akermin to commercialise their work on mitochondria-based biofuel cells. [7] She was made a full professor at Saint Louis University in 2008. [9]

Research and career

Minteer worked at Saint Louis University for eleven years before joining the University of Utah in 2011. [10] She studies the interface between biocatalysts and electrode surfaces for bioelectrocatalysis. [1] She works on enzyme cascades for bioelectrocatalysis as well as organelle bioelectrocatalysis for detection of microscopic events. She also works on the production of biofuels, using synthetic biology and nanotechnology to improve the production. [11] Minteer became interested in extending the lifetimes of fuels and improving the efficiency of oxidation. [12] She demonstrated the first room temperature enzyme-based fuel cells in 2014. [13] The fuel cells use JP-8, a kerosene based fuel cells used by the United States Armed Forces, as well as enzymes as catalysts to oxidise the JP-8. [14]

She was the first to demonstrate paper-based batteries using an electrode coated in bacteria. [15] [16] The batteries can be used to power biosensors and sensor networks. [15] Minteer looks to bioengineer natural metabolic pathways for bioanodes in biofuel cells and the discovery of enzymes. In 2015 Minteer joined the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research to help take more rational design for redox flow batteries. [17] Her efforts include the development of electroanalytical and spectroscopic assays to determine quantitative structure–activity relationship modelling. [17] She works on electrolytes that minimise crossover and more soluble electrolytes. [17] Minteer worked with Brett Helm at University of California, Berkeley on electroanalytical tools to study oligomer electrolytes. [17]

Minteer is an associate editor of the Journal of the American Chemical Society, having previously served as an editor of the Journal of the Electrochemical Society. [18] [19]

Electrocatalyst Catalyst participating in electrochemical reactions

An electrocatalyst is a catalyst that participates in electrochemical reactions. Electrocatalysts are a specific form of catalysts that function at electrode surfaces or, most commonly, may be the electrode surface itself. An electrocatalyst can be heterogeneous such as a platinized electrode. Homogeneous electrocatalysts, which are soluble, assist in transferring electrons between the electrode and reactants, and/or facilitate an intermediate chemical transformation described by an overall half reaction. Major challenges in electrocatalysts focus on fuel cells.

Electrochemical engineering is the branch of chemical engineering dealing with the technological applications of electrochemical phenomena, such as electrosynthesis of chemicals, electrowinning and refining of metals, flow batteries and fuel cells, surface modification by electrodeposition, electrochemical separations and corrosion. This discipline is an overlap between electrochemistry and chemical engineering.

Bioelectrochemistry is a branch of electrochemistry and biophysical chemistry concerned with electrophysiological topics like cell electron-proton transport, cell membrane potentials and electrode reactions of redox enzymes.
