The separator membrane assembly with a grid as the separator performed the best. Efficient pH balance by diffusion of the buffering species is essential. Oxygen crossover was mitigated by the biofilm on the cathode and the 3D bioanode. Biofouling did not impact the resistance; fouling deteriorated the cathode kinetics. All bioanodes showed stringent selection of Proteiniphilum acetatigenes.
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.
