Screening of fruit waste as substrate for microbial fuel cell (MFC)

Global energy consumption has increased tremendously throughout these recent years. Fossil fuels remain as our main source of despite being non-renewable and finite resource. This situation will eventually lead to shortage if not addressed properly. In light this issue, renewable been one the most promising alternatives fossil source. Energy are necessarily required at large scales. For instance, conventional batteries widely used power up small electrical appliances. However, without their drawbacks hence various researches have conducted develop fuel cells that can be study aims reference data by using glucose substrate in microbial cell (MFC) well screen fruit waste orange, banana mango MFC. The was successfully developed different amount temperature. High concentration gives higher peak voltage output compared low concentration. level shows more stable reading. When operated room temperature 28 °C, MFC produced highest 360 mV. Meanwhile, temperatures 40 50 °C 60 259 mV, 255 mV 320 respectively. Based on collected other references, MFCs were able effectively between °C. results from screening wastes for showed orange 357 followed waste.
