RISQualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Limiting Factors in Microbial Fuel Cells Using Electrochemical Techniques
Microbial fuel cells are bioelectrochemical systems producing electrical energy from microbial reactions. These systems have been considered as renewable energy sources; however, questions remain on how these systems can be effectively optimized...
The effect of ratio of anode to cathode surface area on generated power in double-chamber microbial fuel cells
Following the finding that power production in microbial fuel cells varies depending on the relative
sizes of electrodes, we found that in double-chamber air-cathode MFCs working on lactate as substrate
the surface area of anode does...
Effect of catholyte flow rate on the performance of two sediment microbial fuel cells in an open channel
Application of Microbial fuel cell technology to treat contaminated water and produce bio-renewable energy has been increased during the last decade and the lack of fossil fuel resources, global warming and environmental pollution have promoted...
Energy Harvesting from Microbial Fuel Cell Using a Power Management System: A Review
Abstract— Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are renewable energy sources which generate electric current consuming organic substrate. Due to the low output voltage and current, the MFCs are not able to directly power most of commercial loads. A Power...
Mathematical modeling of two-chamber batchmicrobial fuel cell with pure culture of Shewanella
Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a bioreactor which converts the chemical energy of organic compounds of chemical bonds to the electrical energy by catalytic reactions. In the current study a dynamic model is proposed, based on the direct transfer...
