Michael Potter pioneered microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology in 1911 [...]

The construction of large microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and their long-term reliability are current challenges. MFCs generate power while purifying wastewater, save electricity, avoid pollutant stripping into the air a source CO2. To understand larger MFCs, 1000-L MFC was designed. It built from transparent polyester electrodes were reticulated vitreous carbon. Four management devices connected t...

This paper discusses the fundamentals and developments of miniaturized fuel cells, both biological and electrochemical. An overview of microfluidic fuel cells, miniaturized microbial fuel cells, enzymatic biofuel cells, and implanted biofuel cells in an attempt to provide green energy and to power implanted microdevices is provided. Also, the challenges and applications of each type of fuel cel...

The use of packed bed microbial fuel cell (MFC) for septic waste water remediation and electricity generation was carried out for 18 days retention period. In the study, the multistage microbial fuel cells were designed. Septic wastewater qualities such as Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), nitrate, TSS, and pH of both the raw and treated wastewater were determined in the laboratory on three days...

Miniature microbial fuel cells have recently drawn lots of attention as portable power generation devices due to their short startup time and environmentally-friendly process which could be used for powering small integrated biosensors. We designed and fabricated a microbial fuel cell in a microfluidic platform. The device was made in polydimethylsiloxane with a volume of 4 μL and consisted of ...
