In this work, a microbial fuel cell (MFC) stack containing 28 ceramic MFCs was tested in both standard and supercapacitive modes. The MFCs consisted of carbon veil anodes wrapped around the ceramic separator and air-breathing cathodes based on activated carbon catalyst pressed on a stainless steel...
Hydrogen is the best biofuel for future fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). Gasification[117],pyrolysis, gasification in critical water[139], aqueous phase reforming[140], dark anaerobic fermentation[141], light fermentation[142], microbial electro hydrogenesis, and their combinations are the methods forhydr...
An air exposed single-chamber microbial fuel cell (SCMFC) using microalgal biocathodes was designed. The reactors were tested for the simultaneous biodegradation of real dye textile wastewater (RTW) and the generation of bioelectricity. The results of digital image processing revealed...
community genetated a maximum power density of 1.7 W·m−2on a porous electrode, which was comparable to the power density achieved by a regular microbial fuel cell38. This power density is ten times higher than that of the ocean-battery (0.169 W·m−2), which was calculated ...
Full size image To determine the distribution characteristics of As cycling genes, each metagenome was categorized in terms of its sediment depth (i.e. surface: <1 mbsf; shallow: 1–10 mbsf; deep: >10 mbsf). Metagenomes were also grouped based on the type of cold seep, including gas hyd...
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are devices that exploit microorganisms to generate electric power from organic matter. Despite the development of efficient MFC reactors, the microbiology of electricity generation remains to be sufficiently understood. A lab
Full size image For obligate anaerobicClostridiumspecies in industrial settings, oxygen and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are considered gas contaminants although some species are reported to withstand microoxic conditions [54–56]. In laboratory experiments onC. autoethanogenumunder a partial pressure ...
Therefore, it is advantageous to use these waste materials in the form of urea as fuel to generate power using Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC). In this work, we studied the compost soil MFC(CSMFC) unlike typical MFC with urea from the compost as fuel and graphite as a functional electrode. ...
