The traditional air cathode in microbial fuel cell (MFC) usually consists of catalyst layer (CL), supporting (SL) and conductive gas diffusion (GDL), the overall MFC performance is inevitably affected by additional expensive adhesives agents. Here, we developed an integrated without any SL, GDL or adhesives. was self-supporting nitrogen-doped reduced graphene [email protected] nanofiber ([email...

As world is going towards renewable energy sources, microbial fuel cell getting attention nowadays. In microbial fuel cell biomass is utilize and give energy (electricity), and also a good option for treatment for waste water. Fuel recovery from sewage sludge is a promising energy production method, which can simultaneously address energy issue and environmental concerns associated with waste t...

Nowadays, the world is experiencing an energy crisis due to extensive globalization and industrialization. Most of sources renewable are getting depleted, thus, there urge locate alternative routes produce efficiently. Microbial fuel cell (MFC) a favorable technology that utilizes electroactive microorganisms acting as biocatalyst at anode compartment converting organic matter present in sewage...

AIM The single emulsion or single screen system is usually reserved for mammography since its use in general radiography is limited. The purpose of this study is to compare the mammographic film-screen combination (MFC) and the standard film-screen combination (SFC) in terms of fracture and soft tissue injuries detection. PATIENTS, METHODS AND MATERIALS: In this prospective study, 41 patients f...

Here, we explore if microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology can replace activated sludge processes for secondary wastewater treatment. We will discuss the present limitations and problems of electric current generation when a complex wastewater is treated with a diverse and undefined community of microbes in large-scale systems. These challenges include low coulombic efficiencies, slow kinetic rat...

In this work, we created a stackable and integratable two-chambered paper-based microbial fuel cell (MFC) for potentially powering on-chip paper-based biosensors. By applying origami techniques, four batteries were connected in series to obtain an open-circuit voltage (1.6V) and a stable output current (4 μA). The bacterial cells flowed through patterned fluidic pathways within the paper matrix...

A procedure was proposed to mimic marine microbial fuel cell (MFC) in liquid phase. A graphite anode and a stainless steel cathode which have been proven, separately, to be efficient in MFC were investigated. A closed anodic compartment was inoculated with sediments, filled with deoxygenated seawater and fed with milk to recover the sediment's sulphide concentration. A stainless steel cathode, ...

One of the most intriguing renewable energy production methods being explored currently is electrical power generation by microbial fuel cells (MFCs). However, to make MFC technology economically feasible, cost efficient electrode manufacturing processes need to be proposed and demonstrated. In this context, VITO has developed an innovative electrode manufacturing process based on film casting ...

This research concerns the development of Surlyn film reinforced with micro-/nanofibrillated celluloses (MFC) for use as an encapsulant in organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of fibre types and the mixing methods on the structure-properties of the composite films. Three types of cellulose micro/nanofibrils were prepared: the as-received MFC, the...

BACKGROUND Muscle satellite cells (MSCs) represent a devoted stem cell population that is responsible for postnatal muscle growth and skeletal muscle regeneration. An important characteristic of MSCs is that they encompass multi potential mesenchymal stem cell activity and are able to differentiate into myocytes and adipocytes. To achieve a global view of the genes differentially expressed in M...
