Abstract
- In recent years, microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have gained much attention due to their potential to generate energy in a sustainable manner from living microorganisms. Research has shown that electrode design is a critical factor for MFCs power enhancement. In this study, we designed and fabricated MFCs energy-harvesting devices with living bacteria, and we investigated the effect of the surface roughness of the electrodes on power generation. In batch experiments of our MFCs, we found that the total power delivered could be enhanced using electrodes having rough surfaces with protruded micro-structures relative to that of electrodes with a flat surface. This was due to the delayed acidification resulting from the changes in bio-film formation between them. © 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
