This study was carried out in order to assess several modifications of carbon nanotube-based nanomaterials for their applications in laccase electrodes and model biofuel cells. The modified MWCNTs served as adapters for the immobilization of laccase from Catenuloplanes japonicus VKM Ac-875 on the surface of electrodes made of graphite rods and graphite paste. The electrochemical properties of the electrodes were tested in linear and cyclic voltammetrical measurements for the determination of the redox potential of the enzyme and achievable current densities. The redox potential of the enzyme was above 500 mV versus NHE, while the highest current densities reached hundreds of µA/cm 2 . Model biofuel cells on the base of the laccase cathodes had maximal power values from 0.4 to 2 µW. The possibility of practical application of such BFCs was discussed.
