Brush Anode And Tubular Cathode Scale Up Microbial Fuel Cells
Union Town PA (SPX) Mar 23, 2007
A carbon fiber, bottle-brush anode developed by Penn State researchers will provide more than enough surface for bacteria to colonize, for the first time making it possible to use microbial fuel cells for large scale electricity production. In addition, a membrane-tube air cathode, adapted from existing wastewater treatment equipment, will complete the circuit.
"The carbon fiber brushes ar ... more
