Self-sustainable electricity production from algae grown in a microbial fuel cell system (2015)
Journal Article
Gajda, I., Greenman, J., Melhuish, C., & Ieropoulos, I. (2015). Self-sustainable electricity production from algae grown in a microbial fuel cell system. Biomass and Bioenergy, 82, 87-93. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biombioe.2015.05.017

© 2015 The Authors. This paper describes the potential for algal biomass production in conjunction with wastewater treatment and power generation within a fully biotic Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC). The anaerobic biofilm in the anodic half-cell is genera... Read More about Self-sustainable electricity production from algae grown in a microbial fuel cell system.

Simultaneous electricity generation and microbially-assisted electrosynthesis in ceramic MFCs (2015)
Journal Article
Gajda, I., Greenman, J., Melhuish, C., & Ieropoulos, I. (2015). Simultaneous electricity generation and microbially-assisted electrosynthesis in ceramic MFCs. Bioelectrochemistry, 104, 58-64. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bioelechem.2015.03.001

© 2015 Elsevier B.V. To date, the development of microbially assisted synthesis in Bioelectrochemical Systems (BESs) has focused on mechanisms that consume energy in order to drive the electrosynthesis process. This work reports - for the first time... Read More about Simultaneous electricity generation and microbially-assisted electrosynthesis in ceramic MFCs.

Photosynthetic cathodes for microbial fuel cells (2013)
Journal Article
Gajda, I., Greenman, J., Melhuish, C., & Ieropoulos, I. (2013). Photosynthetic cathodes for microbial fuel cells. International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 38(26), 11559-11564. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2013.02.111

One of the major limiting factors in the practical implementation of Microbial Fuel Cells is finding efficient and sustainable catalysts for the cathode half reaction, in an attempt to avoid expensive and/or toxic catalysts. The use of phototrophic o... Read More about Photosynthetic cathodes for microbial fuel cells.
