It is possible that the development of these microbial fuel cells might be just the shot in the arm that hydrogen needs. PNAS , 2007. DOI: 10.1073/pnas.0706379104 ...

Hydrogen fuel cells could someday meet a host of industrial energy needs, but it's difficult and dirty to produce hydrogen using current methods. A new type of microbial fuel cell can power itself ...

These microbial fuel cells (MFCs) convert chemical energy to electrical energy to offer a clean, efficient and reliable alternative to batteries and other environmentally harmful fuels.

Previous work with microbial electrolysis cells showed that they could, by themselves, produce about 0.3 volts of electricity, but not the 0.414 volts needed to generate hydrogen in these fuel cells.

A paper-based microbial fuel cell operating under continuous flow condition. TECHNOLOGY, 2016; 04 (02): 98 DOI: 10.1142/S2339547816400124; Cite This Page: MLA; APA; Chicago; ...

Hydrogen is one of the most abundant elements on Earth and an exceptionally clean fuel source. While it is making its way into the fuel cells of electric cars, busses and heavy equipment, its ...

The use of microbial fuel cells to generate electrical current is increasingly being seen as a viable source of renewable energy production. In this Progress article, Bruce Logan highlights recent ...

A new microbial fuel cell creates energy during wastewater treatment and also vastly reduces the amount of sludge produced. Israel-based company, Emefcy, named as a play on the acronym for ...

Microbial fuel cells work by harvesting energy from specific soil bacteria called exoelectrogens. As these bacteria eat nutrients, they essentially “breathe out” solid state electron acceptors, which ...

A team of researchers from the Iowa State University in Ames, IA has demonstrated a proof-of-concept three-dimensional paper-based microbial fuel cell (MFC) that could take advantage of capillary ...
