Enhanced Power Extraction with Sediment Microbial Fuel Cells by Anode Alternation

Sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) are energy harvesting devices where the anode is buried inside marine sediment, while cathode stays in an aerobic environment on surface of water. To apply this SCMFC as a power source, it crucial to have efficient management system, leading development effective technique suitable for such biological devices. In work, we demonstrate method improve extraction with SMFCs based anodes alternation. We altered setup traditional SMFC include two working same cathode. This compared (control) and that undergoes intermittent harvesting, establishing improvement collection using alternation technique. Control produced average density 6.3 mW/m2 operating intermittently 8.1 mW/m2. On other hand, 23.5 These results indicate utility proposed over both control techniques. The Anode Alternation can also be viewed advancement method.
