Bio-electroactive fuel cells and their applications

Microfluidic Microbial Fuel Cells for Rapid Screening of Electroactive Microorganisms

This study demonstrates two microfluidic microbial fuel cells (μMFCs) for rapid screening of electroactive microorganisms. The μMFCs with Y-shaped channel determined the electroactivity by measuring the open circuit voltage (OCV) generated from different anolytes and the results indicate that electroactivity of microbes contributed 40 mV while the composition difference between streams contribu...

Electroactive Polymers for Robotic Applications

Bio-batteries and bio-fuel cells: leveraging on electronic charge transfer proteins.

Bio-fuel cells are alternative energy devises based on bio-electrocatalysis of natural substrates by enzymes or microorganisms. Here we review bio-fuel cells and bio-batteries based on the recent literature. In general, the bio-fuel cells are classified based on the type of electron transfer; mediated electron transfer and direct electron transfer or electronic charge transfer (ECT). The ECT of...
