The direct integration of paper-based microfluidic fuel cells (μFC's) toward creating autonomous lateral flow assays has attracted attention. Here, we show that an air-breathing μFC could be used as a power supply in pregnancy tests by oxidizing the human urine for diagnosis. We present connected to test, and first time, far know, it is powered without needing any external electrolyte. It uses TiO2-Ni anode Pt/C cathode; performance shows maximum value voltage current densities ∼0.96 V, 1.00...

This work presents, for the first time, power generation using diabetic urine as fuel. The energy conversion is achieved through a paper-based microfluidic fuel cell. Urine has recently gained attention source of novel biomarkers early disease detection, making use particularly relevant to development autonomous portable medical devices. A key challenge in lies fact that it contains various molecules and compounds can block or poison cell's electrodes. study introduces selective catalyst ZnO...

This research emphasizes the effect of using Eisenia foetida in vermicompost for power generation microbial fuel cells (MFCs). By accelerating organic decomposition, bioenergy is improved. A vermicompost-microbial cell employing electrogenic microorganisms was used to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. In this work, substrates black soil, tree bark, leaves, eggshells, and ground tomatoes were used. The MFC has a copper cathode stainless steel anode. study, performance MFCs...
