We propose the very first "Nernstian biosupercapacitor", a biodevice based on only one redox polymer: poly(vinyl imidazole-co-allylamine)[Os(bpy)<sub>2</sub> Cl], and two biocatalysts. At the bioanode PQQ-dependent glucose dehydrogenase reduces the Os<sup>3+</sup> moieties at the polymer to Os<sup>2+</sup> shifting the Nernst potential of the Os<sup>3+</sup> /Os<sup>2+</sup> redox couple to negative values. Concomitantly, at the biocathode the reduction of O<sub>2</sub> by means of bilirubin oxi ...[more]
