Abstract

Microbial fuel cell research is a relatively new and fast growing field of interdisciplinary effort that has drawn scientists from several disparate disciplines. Consequently, establishing a β€œcommon language” regarding the β€œmeans and ways” of experimental preparation, data collection and characterization to obtain accurate and comparable figures of merit (describing microbial fuel cell performance) has proven difficult. We present a methodology for comprehensive engineering analysis from inoculation through batch, fed‐batch and finally continuous flow operation, and detail how a modified stack cell design complements this. More, our cell is able to operate near the thermodynamic maximum potential for oxidation of lactate.

These phenomena need to be studied further to better understand how the stack will behave under these conditions. The authors aim to safely and efficientl

Two electrode pairs in a flow-through dual fuel-cell system were used to determine the electrochemical potential generated by microbial populations. The potential difference between the counting and the reference electrode pairs was reciprocally proportional to the cell density of microorganisms in
