Micromachined microbial and photosynthetic fuel cells
This paper presents two types of fuel cells: a miniature microbial fuel cell (μMFC) and a miniature photosynthetic electrochemical cell (μPEC). A bulk micromachining process is used to fabricate the fuel cells, and the prototype has an active proton exchange membrane area of 1 cm2. Two different micro-organisms are used as biocatalysts in the anode: (1) Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) ...
متن کاملLight energy to bioelectricity: photosynthetic microbial fuel cells.
Here, we reviewed five different approaches that integrate photosynthesis with microbial fuel cells (MFCs)-photoMFCs. Until now, no conclusive report has been published that identifies direct electron transfer (DET) between a photosynthetic biocatalyst and the anode of a MFC. Therefore, most recent research has been performed to generate sufficient electric current from sunlight with either ele...
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...

1.0 Problem Statement The disposal of municipal solid wastes is one of the most serious problems facing Waste generation is on the increasing trend due to exponentially renders waste management as a significant problem. The solid waste generation (lb/capita/day) has been on increasing trend since 1980, with the curr New York State alone generates 8.4 million tons of municipal solid waste per ye...
