Small scale microbial fuel cells and different ways of reporting output (2010)
Journal Article
Ieropoulos, I., Winfield, J., Greenman, J., & Melhuish, C. (2010). Small scale microbial fuel cells and different ways of reporting output. ECS Transactions, 28(9), 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1149/1.3492221

The present study, reports on the findings of connecting 2 stacks of 48 MFCs and the importance of maturity and acclimation for the anodic biofilms. Furthermore, an attempt is made to emphasize the importance of a universal unit for quantifying power... Read More about Small scale microbial fuel cells and different ways of reporting output.

MFCs and algae (2010)
Journal Article
Ieropoulos, I. A., Greenman, J., & Sauer, M. (2010). MFCs and algae. ECS Transactions, 28(9), 23-30. https://doi.org/10.1149/1.3492223

Algae and photosynthetic bacteria may be integrated or associated with Microbial Fuel Cells MFCs in a number of different ways including: (1) use of whole (intact) or lipid-extracted lyzed cells as the primary carbon-energy source for anodic microbia... Read More about MFCs and algae.

Effects of flow-rate, inoculum and time on the internal resistance of microbial fuel cells (2010)
Journal Article
Ieropoulos, I., Winfield, J., & Greenman, J. (2010). Effects of flow-rate, inoculum and time on the internal resistance of microbial fuel cells. Bioresource Technology, 101(10), 3520-3525. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2009.12.108

To process large volumes of wastewater, microbial fuel cells (MFCs) would require anodophilic bacteria preferably operating at high flow-rates. The effect of flow-rate on different microbial consortia was examined during anodic biofilm development, u...

Improved energy output levels from small-scale Microbial Fuel Cells (2010)
Journal Article
Ieropoulos, I., Greenman, J., & Melhuish, C. (2010). Improved energy output levels from small-scale Microbial Fuel Cells. Bioelectrochemistry, 78(1), 44-50. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bioelechem.2009.05.009

This study reports on the findings from the investigation into small-scale (6.25mL) MFCs, connected together as a network of multiple units. The MFCs contained unmodified (no catalyst) carbon fibre electrodes and for initial and later experiments, a... Read More about Improved energy output levels from small-scale Microbial Fuel Cells.
