Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a new technology that uses microorganisms to extract energy from complex organic mixtures. On the basis of aerobic granular sludge we have selected a nitrogen-fixing community of microorganisms that was immobilized on a carbon material (graphite foam, carbon nanotubes). The MFC anode has been developed on the basis of selected biological material. A membraneless glucose / oxygen MFC with bioanode and cathode based on non-platinum group metals or laccase enzyme has been developed. A mathematical model describing the processes in the MFC has been developed, on its base the calculations have been carried out.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
