Proton exchange membranes (PEMs) are one of the most important components in microbial fuel cells (MFCs), since PEMs physically separate anode and cathode compartments while allowing protons to transport order sustain an electrical current. The Nafion 117 membrane used this study is generally regarded as having excellent proton conductivity, though many problems for its application MFCs remain. We investigated associated with including: oxygen leakage from anode, substrate loss, cation...
Bioelectrohydrogenesis using a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) is promising technology for simultaneous hydrogen production and wastewater treatment which uses electrogenic microbes. Microbial activity at the anode evolution reaction cathode can be controlled by electrode–microbe interaction electron transfer. The selection of electrode material governed electrochemical oxidation substrates subsequent transfer to anode. Similarly, good cathodic should reduce overpotential enhance H2...
The increasing demand for energy in the near future has created strong motivation environmentally clean alternative resources.Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have opened up new ways of utilizing renewable sources.MFCs are devices that convert chemical organic compounds to electrical through microbial catalysis at anode under anaerobic conditions, and reduction a terminal electron acceptor, most preferentially oxygen, cathode.Due rapid advances MFC-based technology over last decade, currently...
This paper reports successful hydrogen evolution using a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC)-powered microbial electrolysis (MEC) without Pt catalyst on the cathode, indicating solution for inherent drawbacks of conventional MECs, such as need an external bias and catalyst. DSSCs fabricated by assembling ruthenium dye-loaded TiO2 film platinized FTO glass with I−/I3− redox couple were demonstrated alternative (Voc = 0.65 V). Pt-loaded (0.3 mg Pt/cm2) electrodes Pt/C nanopowder showed relatively...
