Electricity generation through a photo sediment microbial fuel cell using algae at the cathode

Sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) are bio-electrochemical devices generating electricity from redox gradients occurring across the sediment–water interface. Sediment microbial carbon-capture cell (SMCC), a modified SMFC, uses algae grown in the overlying water of sediment and is considered as a promising system for power generation along with algal cultivation. In this study, the ...

Biofuel Feedstock

For years biofuels research has focused on effectively converting biomass into usable liquid and gaseous fuels. Switchgrass, algae, wood, corn, food waste, textile waste and sewage sludge are just a few of the biomass materials that have been tested and/or processed commercially into fuel. But missing from this list is the one carbon-rich, biomass source produced daily in almost every home around ...
