Dynamic polarisation reveals differential steady-state stabilisation and capacitive-like behaviour in microbial fuel cells (2013)
Journal Article
Ledezma, P., Degrenne, N., Bevilacqua, P., Buret, F., Allard, B., Greenman, J., & Ieropoulos, I. (2014). Dynamic polarisation reveals differential steady-state stabilisation and capacitive-like behaviour in microbial fuel cells. Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments, 5, 1-6. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seta.2013.10.008

In this paper we present several preliminary results produced with a purposely-designed external-resistor (R ext ) sweeping tool for microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Fast sampling rates show that MFCs exhibit differential steady-state stabilisation behav...

Energy production and sanitation improvement using microbial fuel cells (2013)
Journal Article
Knoop, O., Lewis, D., Greenman, J., Ieropoulos, I., Ieropoulos, I., Greenman, J., …Knoop, O. (2013). Energy production and sanitation improvement using microbial fuel cells. Journal of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for Development, 3(3), 383-391. https://doi.org/10.2166/washdev.2013.117

This study builds on the previous work of urine utilisation and uses small-scale microbial fuel cells (MFCs), working both as individual units in cascade or collectively as a stack, to utilise artificial urine. Artificial urine was prepared at concen... Read More about Energy production and sanitation improvement using microbial fuel cells.

MPL based anode for improved performance in microbial fuel cells (2013)
Conference Proceeding
