Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are biocells that use microorganisms as biocatalysts to break down organic matter and convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Presently, the application of MFCs alternative sources is limited by their low power attribute. Optimization very important harness optimum In this study, we develop optimal data-driven models for a typical MFC synthesized from polymet...

The use of proton exchange membranes (PEMs) in biological fuel cells limits the diversity of novel designs for increasing output power or enabling autonomous function in unique environments. Here we show that selected nanoporous polymer filters (nylon, cellulose, or polycarbonate) can be used effectively in place of PEMs in a miniature microbial fuel cell (mini-MFC, device cross-section 2 cm2),...
