Power output limitation is one of the main challenges that needs to be addressed for full-scale applications of the Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) technology. Previous studies have examined electrochemical performance of different cathode electrodes including the development of novel iron based electrocatalysts, however the long-term investigation into continuously operating systems is rare. This wo...

This study investigated the advantages of using low-cost polyaniline-fabricated stainless steel fiber felt anode-based microbial fuel cells (PANI-SSFF-MFCs) for azo dye acid blue 29 (AB29) containing wastewater treatment integrated with an aerobic bioreactor. The findings electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and polarization studies showed that PANI–SSFF anode considerably decreased MFC...

The aim of this study was to investigate pH effect on stratification bacterial community in cathodic biofilm the microbial fuel cell (MFC) under alkaline conditions. A single-chamber MFC with air-cathode operated 0.8 g/L maltodextrin and bicarbonate buffer solutions values 8.5, 9.5, 10.5, respectively. biofilms were characterized by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), electrochemical impedance spec...

The rat medial frontal cortex (MFC) has been implicated in allowing animals to work harder to receive larger rewards. However, it is unknown what role the individual MFC regions [anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and prelimbic-infralimbic cortex (PL-IL)] play in such decision making. To investigate this, we trained rats on a T-maze cost-benefit task with two possible courses of action, shown prev...

In this paper, we present an overview of recent progress in the development of the NASA Macro-Fiber Composite (MFC) piezocomposite actuator device. This will include a brief history of the development of the MFC, a description of the standard manufacturing process used to fabricate MFC actuators, and a summary of ongoing MFC electromechanical characterization testing. In addition, we describe t...

To investigate the performance of microbial fuel cell (MFC) with a single-chamber membrane, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is used as bio catalyst for various synthetic wastewaters rich in carbohydrate and compared real dairy wastewater this experiment. Therefore, choice appropriate carbon, nitrogen, NaCl, inoculum content, temperature, pH process parameters are preparing was agreed upon by one-variabl...
