Microbial desalination cell: Desalination through conserving energy

Masirah Zahid et al.

Summary: The increasing demand for potable water has led to the development of efficient desalination technologies such as reverse osmosis membranes. Microbial desalination cells (MDC) have been investigated for some time, but their actual relevance in the desalination industry is still unclear. Further research is needed to scale up the MDC technology, address its technical shortcomings, and reduce costs and environmental impact.

Heteroatom-doped porous carbon nanoparticle-decorated carbon cloth (HPCN/CC) as efficient anode electrode for microbial fuel cells (MFCs)

Kaili Zhu et al.

Summary: Developing high-performance anode materials is crucial for improving the performance of microbial fuel cells (MFCs). In this study, a porous carbon nanoparticle was prepared and used as the anode material. The decorated MFCs showed higher power density and current density compared to conventional carbon cloth anodes. The proposed anode also enhanced extracellular electron transfer and biofilm formation. The findings suggest a method for preparing anode materials with adjustable structure and excellent properties, and provide a strategy for the application of high-performance anodes in MFCs.

Anode biofilm maturation time, stable cell performance time, and time-course electrochemistry in a single-chamber microbial fuel cell with a brush-anode

Huong V. H. Tran et al.

Summary: For accurate and reproducible MFC experiments, it is important to determine the time point at which MFCs produce stable cell performance. Four replicate single-chamber MFCs were tested over a period of 17 weeks using polarization and cyclic voltammetry (CV) tests. The strong MFCs showed continuous performance enhancement initially and maintained good subsequent performance, while the weak MFC experienced a performance drop initially and showed poor subsequent performance. All MFCs reached stable performance after 9 weeks. The strong MFCs exhibited significantly higher power and lower anode resistance compared to the weak MFC. However, their cathode resistances were similar. CV results demonstrated continuous increase in anodic current production in all MFCs, indicating the growth of anode biofilms; however, this increase did not correspond to an increase in MFC performance. Anodic CVs showed a typical S-shape curve, but the weak MFC-1 showed straight lines from the 9th week onwards. The weak MFC-1 exhibited smaller CV currents and thinner CV curves compared to the strong MFCs. Regression analysis revealed that anode resistance was a limiting factor for the weak MFC, while cathode resistance was a limiting factor for the strong MFCs. This suggests an operating principle of improving anodes in weak MFCs and cathodes in strong MFCs to achieve better performance.
