Implementation of Microbial Fuel Cell for Electricity Generation
Microorganisms are used in Microbial Fuel Cells, a promising technology that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. High-cost materials and ultralow-power production, however, have emerged as major obstacles to MFC growth. As a result, numerous strategies have been put forth to raise the MFC's output power. Among them, the most promising technique for producing high power in MFC has been proposed to be the stacking of numerous cells in succession. Voltage reversal (VR), however, is now a problem that restricts the amount of electricity that can be produced in stacked MFC. Thus, from the perspective of electron and proton transport mechanisms in a series-stacked MFC, this work explores and explains the true reason of the voltage reversal phenomena. The electronic control techniques utilized to remove obstacles in MFC growth are also covered in this study.
