The present study explores the use of carbon dots coated with Iron (II, III) oxide (Fe3O4) for its application as an anode in microbial fuel cells (MFC). Fe3O4@PSA-C was synthesized using a hydrothermal-assisted probe sonication method. Nanoparticles were characterized XRD, SEM, FTIR, and RAMAN Spectroscopy. Different concentrations Fe3O4- (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1 mg/cm2) onto graphite sheets (Fe3O4...

A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a device that converts chemical energy into electricity through the catalytic activities of microorganisms. In the present contribution, we demonstrated the comparative electricity production capacity of Saccharomyces cerevisae and Clostridium acetobutylicum in two chambered MFC using Artificial Waste water. Temperature, pH, substrate concentration and addition of...

• The empty channel Electrocell Microflow Cell and MP perform similarly to their larger counterparts in literature. Turbulence promoters enhance mass transfer by a factor 1.4–1.5. Mesh electrodes greatly (between 2.1 2.8) Woven mesh result 5.7 6.7 times faster reaction rates. family of electrolyzers is set differently sized commercially available electrochemical flow reactors, suitable for scal...

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between gas produced through in vitro gas production test and microbial fuel cell (MFC) technique and introduce new assay for evaluation of ruminants feedstuffs. The treatments were 1) control diet (without whole cottonseed, monensin and vitamin E; CD), 2) diet containing 20.00% whole cottonseed (CSD), 3) diet including 20.00% who...

Medial frontal cortical (MFC) dopamine is essential for the organization of behavior in time. Our prior work indicates that blocking D1 dopamine receptors (D1DR) attenuates temporal processing and low-frequency oscillations by MFC neuronal networks. Here we investigate the effects of focal infusion of the D1DR agonist SKF82958 into MFC during interval timing. MFC D1DR agonist infusion impaired ...

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) attracts growing efforts as a kind of environmentally friendly biotechnology. In this study, the aerobic bacterium Bacillus subtilis has been utilized in a dual-chambered upflow microbial fuel cell fueled with actual domestic wastewater. The MFC system was continuously operated for 75 days. The performance of the UMFC was mainly evaluated in accordance with the COD rem...

Microbial fuel cell is a bio-electrochemical system that drives a current by using bacteria and mimicking bacterial interactions found in nature. The electricigens and its activity have important influence on the power generation capacity and organic matter degradation ability of MFC system. The common types of electricigens and their application situation in microbial fuel cell are summarized ...

The ceramic separator has been interested in low-cost alternative proton exchange membranes a microbial fuel cell (MFC). In this study, the silica-modified integrated with yeast-based MFC for electricity generation and phenol treatment from winery wastewater. 30% (w/w) silica powder was mixed 70% natural clay. modified plates (0.2, 0.5, 1.0 cm of thickness) were prepared at 680°C used operation...

In the present work, sedimentary microbial fuel cells (s-MFC) have been proposed as effective tools to power remote sensors in different aquatic environments, thanks their ability produce renewable and sustainable energy continuously autonomously. The work proposes optimization of cylindrical a compact cost-effective system suitable be integrated payload an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). ...
