Abstract |
|
Bio electrochemical systems (BESs) have recently emerged as an exciting technology. In a BES, bacteria interact with electrode using electrons, which are either removed or supplied through an electrical circuit. The most described type of BES is Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs). Microbial fuel cells (MFC) use the power of bacteria and convert energy released in metabolic reactions into electrical energy. Microbial fuel cells with nanoparticles incorporated salt bridge showed higher energy generation in the experimental setup with copper electrode due to the abiotic current production. Stainless steel without nanoparticles incorporated salt bridge is found as optimum design due to its stable properties. |
