Microfabricated Microbial Fuel Cell Arrays Reveal Electrochemically Active Microbes
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are remarkable "green energy" devices that exploit microbes to generate electricity from organic compounds. MFC devices currently being used and studied do not generate sufficient power to support widespread and cost-effective applications. Hence, research has focused on strategies to enhance the power output of the MFC devices, including exploring more electrochemic...
متن کاملIsolation and Analysis of Novel Electrochemically Active Bacteria for Enhanced Power Generation in Microbial Fuel Cells
PROJECT SUMMARY Bacteria capable of exocellular transfer of electrons to solid surfaces, called exoelectrogens, make it possible to obtain electricity from the breakdown of organic matter in microbial fuel cells (MFCs). We obtained several new exoelectrogenic bacteria during this project. We isolated Rhodopseudomonas palustris DX-1, and demonstrated for the first time that a pure culture could ...

متن کاملPreparation of electrochemically active silicon nanotubes in highly ordered arrays
Silicon as the negative electrode material of lithium ion batteries has a very large capacity, the exploitation of which is impeded by the volume changes taking place upon electrochemical cycling. A Si electrode displaying a controlled porosity could circumvent the difficulty. In this perspective, we present a preparative method that yields ordered arrays of electrochemically competent silicon ...
متن کاملMicrobial whole‐cell arrays
The coming of age of whole-cell biosensors, combined with the continuing advances in array technologies, has prepared the ground for the next step in the evolution of both disciplines - the whole-cell array. In the present review, we highlight the state-of-the-art in the different disciplines essential for a functional bacterial array. These include the genetic engineering of the biological com...
