Research and career
Minteer worked at Saint Louis University for eleven years before joining the University of Utah in 2011.{{Cite journal|last1=Cai|first1=Rong|last2=Minteer|first2=Shelley D.|date=2018-11-09|title=Nitrogenase Bioelectrocatalysis: From Understanding Electron-Transfer Mechanisms to Energy Applications|journal=ACS Energy Letters|volume=3|issue=11|pages=2736–2742|doi=10.1021/acsenergylett.8b01637|doi-access=free}} She studies the interface between biocatalysts and electrode surfaces for bioelectrocatalysis. 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.{{Cite web|url=https://issuu.com/ecs1902/docs/227_final_program_e1654c28867612|title=227th ECS Meeting: Meeting Program|website=Issuu|language=en|access-date=2019-04-13}} Minteer became interested in extending the lifetimes of fuels and improving the efficiency of oxidation.{{Cite journal|last1=Minteer|first1=Shelley D|last2=Liaw|first2=Bor Yann|last3=Cooney|first3=Michael J|date=2007|title=Enzyme-based biofuel cells|journal=Current Opinion in Biotechnology|language=en|volume=18|issue=3|pages=228–234|doi=10.1016/j.copbio.2007.03.007|pmid=17399977}} She demonstrated the first room temperature enzyme-based fuel cells in 2014.{{Cite web|url=https://www.electrochem.org/redcat-blog/member-spotlight-shelley-minteer/|title=Member Spotlight - Shelley Minteer|date=2014-11-05|website=ECS|language=en-US|access-date=2019-04-13}} 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.{{Cite web|url=https://archive.unews.utah.edu/news_releases/jet-fueled-electricity-at-room-temperature/|title=Jet-Fueled Electricity at Room Temperature {{!}} University of Utah News|website=archive.unews.utah.edu|access-date=2019-04-13}}
She was the first to demonstrate paper-based batteries using an electrode coated in bacteria.{{Cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/engineers-create-collapsible-battery-powered-help-dirty-water|title=Engineers create collapsible battery powered with the help of dirty water|date=2015-06-27|website=PBS NewsHour|language=en-us|access-date=2019-04-13}}{{Citation|last=Grete Eliassen|title=Bio-Inspired Batteries with guest researcher Shelley D.

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.{{Cite web|url=http://www.jcesr.org/about/leadership/research-leadership/shelley-minteer-2/|title=Shelley Minteer - Joint Center for Energy Storage Research|language=en-US|access-date=2019-04-13}} Her efforts include the development of electroanalytical and spectroscopic assays to determine quantitative structure–activity relationship modelling. She works on electrolytes that minimise crossover and more soluble electrolytes. Minteer worked with Brett Helms at University of California, Berkeley on electroanalytical tools to study oligomer electrolytes.
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.{{Cite web|url=https://pubs.acs.org/page/jacsat/editors.html|title=Editors|website=pubs.acs.org|access-date=2019-04-13}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.coe.utah.edu/2013/02/15/ustar-professor-appointed-technical-editor-of-ecs-journals/|title=USTAR Professor Appointed Technical Editor of ECS Journals|date=2013-02-15|website=The College of Engineering at the University of Utah|language=en-US|access-date=2019-04-13}}
