Air-Breathing Membraneless Laminar Flow-Based Fuel Cell with Flow- Through Anode
This paper describes a detailed characterization of laminar flow-based fuel cell (LFFC) with air-breathing cathode for performance (fuel utilization and power density). The effect of flow-over and flow-through anode architectures, as well as operating conditions such as different fuel flow rates and concentrations on the performance of LFFCs was investigated. Formic acid with concentrations of ...
متن کاملA Single-Chamber Microbial Fuel Cell without an Air Cathode
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) represent a novel technology for wastewater treatment with electricity production. Electricity generation with simultaneous nitrate reduction in a single-chamber MFC without air cathode was studied, using glucose (1 mM) as the carbon source and nitrate (1 mM) as the final electron acceptor employed by Bacillus subtilis under anaerobic conditions. Increasing current a...
متن کاملSelf-contained Oxygen Supply for Self-regulating Miniature Fuel Cell
We report a microstructure, which if electrified in a hydrogen peroxide solution covers its top with a thin layer of oxygen gas in a self-regulating manner. In pursuit of realizing a full fuel cell with no moving part, we have successfully developed such an oxygen-generating surface and integrated it as a direct oxygen supply to the cathode of our previously developed miniature fuel cells. The ...
متن کاملImproved power and long term performance of microbial fuel cell with Fe-N-C catalyst in air-breathing cathode
Power output limitation is one of the main challenges that needs to be addressed for full-scale applications of the Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) technology. Previous studies have examined electrochemical performance of different cathode electrodes including the development of novel iron based electrocatalysts, however the long-term investigation into continuously operating systems is rare. This wo...
متن کاملA Micro Direct Methanol Fuel Cell with Self-pumping of Liquid Fuel
This paper introduces a micro direct methanol fuel cell (μDMFC) with an imbedded self-pumping mechanism to deliver liquid fuel. The fuel is propelled without any power consuming component (e.g., a pump), while removing the CO2 bubbles generated by the fuel-cell electrochemical reaction of the system. Furthermore, the pumping rate is self-regulated by the reaction, i.e., by the load. By eliminat...
