Currently, microbial fuel cells are primarily used to produce electricity in research labs. The fuel cells need to be improved so that they can consistently produce higher amounts of electricity than ...

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) offer a promising avenue for renewable energy production by harnessing the metabolic activities of microorganisms to convert chemical energy from organic matter into ...

POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) – A new system that aims to get the most out of microbes in terms of electricity generation and wastewater treatment has been developed by two researchers at Idaho State ...

The coatings also demonstrated high stability and repeatability across multiple cycles, confirming their potential for ...

(Nanowerk News) Cathode materials play a significant role in the performance of microbial fuel cells. In this study, researchers compared the performance of membrane-free air-cathode soil microbial ...

Aquacycl’s modular technology helps clean up contaminated water before it flows down the drain. In some cases, it can also be reused onsite after it’s cleaned. This article is about one of the ...

When nature designed lignin — the fibrous, woody material that gives plants their rigid structure — it didn’t cut any corners. Incredibly slow to break down, lignin is so sturdy and long lasting that ...

Biodegradable waste from plant and animal sources released into freshwater ecosystems is a significant environmental concern. Nonetheless, current methods for assessing water quality seem more or less ...

Comprehensive overview of the evolution of transition metal-based catalysts in microbial electrolysis cells from their inception to the present. Critical design parameters of catalysts evaluated from ...

Researchers have developed a sustainable, inexpensive two-step process that can upcycle organic carbon waste -- including lignin, a difficult-to-breakdown material that gives plants their structure.
