We report a novel microfluidic microbial fuel cell (μMFC) with an improved design of 3D bioanode. The device features a highly conductive, multilayered nanofibrous anode providing a porous scaffold structure favorable for microbial attachment, mass transfer, and electron collection. The anolyte and catholyte chambers have a small volume of 2 μL each, and are separated by a proton exchange membr...

Microbial fuel cell and microbial electrolysis cell are two major types of microbial electrochemical cells. In the present study, we governed modeling of these systems by concentrating on the simulation of bioelectrochemical reactions in both biofilm and anolyte and considering the effect of pH on the microbial growth. The simulation of microbial fuel and electrolysis cells can be described by ...

Electrochemical oxidation (EO) using boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes attracted increasing interests due to its high efficiency in mineralizing chlorinated organic pollutants water. However, it produces hazardous disinfection by-products (DBPs) including chloramines, chlorate and perchlorate ions discharges acidic streams. In this work, an attempt neutralize the effluent reduce production o...
