Effect of iron oxide content and microstructural porosity on the performance of ceramic membranes as microbial fuel cell separators

Abstract

Highlights Suitable bioelectrochemical application of ceramic clays with varying Fe2O3 content. 5.75% of Fe2O3 and 1100 °C of sintering temperature allow MFCs to reach 1.045 mW. The Fe2O3 content mitigates the effect of porosity features on the MFC power output. Good stability of the MFCs working during 65 days in continuous mode.

Eco-friendly synthesis of an α-Fe2O3/rGO nanocomposite and its application in high-performance asymmetric supercapacitors

“…Efforts are constantly being made to find a simple, low-cost method of producing nanocrystalline Fe 2 O 3 /rGO. Since egg white proteins are soluble in water and can be used to bind and shape materials, especially bulk and porous ceramics, 35,36 they have been employed as a straightforward approach for producing ferrite/rGO. The foamy action of the egg white is quite helpful for this reaction.…”

Pyrophyllite: An Economic Mineral for Different Industrial Applications

“…Iron and titanium also have a coloring effect on the final product. In addition, iron oxide with titanium forms a low-melting iron-titanate glass, which causes increased porosity in the final product through the formation of blisters [3,21,61]. Alkalis are also deleterious because alkalis in the form of carbonates combine with silica under firing temperatures to form water-soluble silicates.…”
