Integrated Microfluidic Flow-Through Microbial Fuel Cells
This paper reports on a miniaturized microbial fuel cell with a microfluidic flow-through configuration: a porous anolyte chamber is formed by filling a microfluidic chamber with three-dimensional graphene foam as anode, allowing nutritional medium to flow through the chamber to intimately interact with the colonized microbes on the scaffolds of the anode. No nutritional media flow over the ano...
متن کاملFlow dependent performance of microfluidic microbial fuel cells.
The integration of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) in a microfluidic geometry can significantly enhance the power density of these cells, which would have more active bacteria per unit volume. Moreover, microfluidic MFCs can be operated in a continuous mode as opposed to the traditional batch-fed mode. Here we investigate the effect of fluid flow on the performance of microfluidic MFCs. The growth ...
متن کاملFlow Control in Microbial Fuel Cells
In Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs), a mass transfer impact might be larger than expected because it not only effects the mass transfer losses (substrate flux [1, 2] and removal of waste [2]), but also effects the activation losses (mediator [3-5]) and the ohmic losses (proton transfer [6]). However, the convection/diffusion of the reactant transport from the bulk (reactant transport), which can be ...
متن کاملMicrofluidic 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...
متن کاملMicrobial Fuel Cells
Microbial fuel cells (MFC) are a promising technology for sustainable production of alternative energy and waste treatment. A microbial fuel cell transformation chemical energy in the chemical bonds in organic compounds to electrical energy through catalytic reactions of microorganisms under anaerobic conditions. It has been known for many years that it is possible to generate electricity direc...
