Marine floating microbial fuel cell involving aerobic biofilm on stainless steel cathodes.
Here is presented a new design of a floating marine MFC in which the inter-electrode space is constant. This design allows the generation of stable current for applications in environments where the water column is large or subject to fluctuations such as tidal effects. The operation of the first prototype was validated by running a continuous test campaign for 6months. Performance in terms of ...
متن کاملMicrobial electrocatalysis with Geobacter sulfurreducens biofilm on stainless steel cathodes
Stainless steel and graphite electrodes were individually addressed and polarized at −0.60 V vs. Ag/AgCl in reactors filled with a growth medium that contained 25 mM fumarate as the electron acceptor and no electron donor, in order to force the microbial cells to use the electrode as electron source. When the reactor was inoculated with Geobacter sulfurreducens, the current increased and stabil...
متن کاملMicrobial fuel cell cathodes with poly(dimethylsiloxane) diffusion layers constructed around stainless steel mesh current collectors.
A new and simplified approach for making cathodes for microbial fuel cells (MFCs) was developed by using metal mesh current collectors and inexpensive polymer/carbon diffusion layers (DLs). Rather than adding a current collector to a cathode material such as carbon cloth, we constructed the cathode around the metal mesh itself, thereby avoiding the need for the carbon cloth or other supporting ...
متن کاملFirst air-tolerant effective stainless steel microbial anode obtained from a natural marine biofilm.
Microbial anodes were constructed with stainless steel electrodes under constant polarisation. The seawater medium was inoculated with a natural biofilm scraped from harbour equipment. This procedure led to efficient microbial anodes providing up to 4A/m(2) for 10mM acetate oxidation at -0.1 V/SCE. The whole current was due to the presence of biofilm on the electrode surface, without any signif...
متن کاملBiofilm Based Microbial Fuel Cell
Biofilms of natural anaerobic microbial consortia externally grown on Gas Diffusion Electrodes (GDL) in a bioreactor, were investigated within a MembraneElectrode-Assembly with respect to lifetime and electricity production upon variation of biodegradable materials with an oxygen demand of 1000mg/l as simulated waste water. A remarkable differentiation and plasticity of the films is observed, t...
