A new design of membraneless microbial fuel cell: Anode and cathode share the same self-stratified electrolyte of urine (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Walter, X., Gajda, I., Forbes, S., Greenman, J., & Ieropoulos, I. (2015). A new design of membraneless microbial fuel cell: Anode and cathode share the same self-stratified electrolyte of urine. In M. Chianella, C. Barchiesi, & V. Cigolotti (Eds.), Proceedings of the 6th European Fuel Cell - Piero Lunghi Conference, EFC 2015. , (315-316)

Regardless of architecture, microbial fuel cell technology requires a plurality of units to achieve exploitable electrical power. This implies that each unit needs a simple design allowing the production of the needed multiplicity. Here, we present a...

Electricity and catholyte production from ceramic MFCS treating urine (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Merino-Jimenez, I., Greenman, J., & Ieropoulos, I. (2015). Electricity and catholyte production from ceramic MFCS treating urine. In V. Cigolotti, M. Chianella, & C. Barchiesi (Eds.), Proceedings of the 6th European Fuel Cell - Piero Lunghi Conference, EFC 2015. , (311-312)

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) offer a promising technology for electricity production. In the anodic chamber, an anaerobic biofilm breaks down the organic compounds present in the urine to generate electricity. In the cathodic chamber, the oxygen reduc...

Eco-case based reasoning (Eco-CBR) for supporting sustainable product design (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Romli, A., Setchi, R., Soe, S., & Prickett, P. (2015). Eco-case based reasoning (Eco-CBR) for supporting sustainable product design. In SDM'2015: 2nd International Conference on Sustainable Design and Manufacturing (145-158)

A major challenge for any manufacturer is including aspects of sustainable development in product design. These are related to the social, environmental and economic impacts of the proposed product. This paper proposes the development of an eco- case... Read More about Eco-case based reasoning (Eco-CBR) for supporting sustainable product design.

Flexibility in MOFs: Do scalar and group-theoretical counting rules work? (2015)
Journal Article
Marmier, A., & Evans, K. E. (2016). Flexibility in MOFs: Do scalar and group-theoretical counting rules work?. Dalton Transactions, 45(10), 4360-4369. https://doi.org/10.1039/c5dt03586d

© The Royal Society of Chemistry 2016. We investigate the ability of counting rules drafted from engineering to predict the flexibility or rigidity of bar-and-joint or body-and-joint assemblies representing metal organic frameworks. We show that whil... Read More about Flexibility in MOFs: Do scalar and group-theoretical counting rules work?.
