“…18 In another example, freestanding, semi-permeable membranes made from the biopolymer chitosan were achieved by precipitation following a switch in molecular polarity at the co-flow interface with a basic solution. 19 This technique has subsequently proliferated in the literature, as recently reviewed, 20 but to our knowledge never before as a separation membrane for microfluidic fuel cells (microbial or otherwise).…”

“…14,[33][34][35] Among these, the in situ biofabrication of chitosan membranes we developed previously that is based on pHdependent hydrogel formation is a simple, rapid, and straightforward strategy. [36][37][38] Chitosan, a derivative of chitin, has been broadly applied for a diverse range of biomedical and tissue engineering applications thanks to its pronounced biocompatibility, biodegradability, low cost, ease of modification and processing, and non-toxicity. [39][40][41] Chitosan's solubility is pH-responsive with the transition to hydrogel near pH 6.5, a biologically convenient transition point.…”

“…Chitosan is a deacetylated product of chitin, which is a naturally abundant polysaccharide (Ly et al 2021). It has the potential to be used for many plant cultivations due to its root elongation-inhibitory effects.…”
