Microbial fuel cell compared to a chemostat [PDF]
Chemosphere, 2022 Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) represent a green and sustainable energy conversion system that integrate bacterial biofilms within an electrochemical two-electrode set-up to produce electricity from organic waste. In this review, we focus on a novel exploratory model, regarding "thin" biofilms forming on highly perfusable (non-diffusible) anodes in small ...

Biological and Microbial Fuel Cells [PDF]
, 2012 Biological fuel cells have attracted increasing interest in recent years because of their applications in environmental treatment, energy recovery, and small-scale power sources. Biological fuel cells are capable of producing electricity in the same way as a chemical fuel cell: there is a constant supply of fuel into the anode and a constant supply of ...

Low Cost Materials for the Air Cathodes in Single-Chamber Microbial Fuel Cells: A Mini Review
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2016 Microbial fuel cells produce significant lower power output than conventional hydrogen and oxygen powered fuel cells. Thus, the utilization of fuel cell-grade materials is not practical in microbial fuel cells for recovering energy from wastewater.

Syntrophy in microbial fuel cells [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2013 Syntrophy has a pivotal role in the microbial degradation of organic compounds in methanogenic ecosystems (McInerney et al., 2009). Methanogenic degradation of organic compounds is a sequential process: a series of organisms is involved in the various conversion steps of these compounds into methane and carbon dioxide (Dolfing, 1988).
