Journal Article
Ieropoulos, I. A., Ieropoulos, I., Greenman, J., & Melhuish, C. (2013). Miniature microbial fuel cells and stacks for urine utilisation. International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 38(1), 492-496. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2012.09.062

MFCs are becoming a stronger contender in the area of alternative energy sources and show great promise in utilising a wide variety of organic sources. This paper describes the utilisation of neat undiluted urine as the main feedstock for different t... Read More about Miniature microbial fuel cells and stacks for urine utilisation.

Effects of sulphate addition and sulphide inhibition on microbial fuel cells (2013)
Journal Article
Greenman, J., Gálvez, A., Ieropoulos, I., Ieropoulos, I., Gálvez, A., & Greenman, J. (2013). Effects of sulphate addition and sulphide inhibition on microbial fuel cells. Enzyme and Microbial Technology, 52(1), 32-37. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enzmictec.2012.10.002

The effects of adding sulphate in: (i) standard activated sludge microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and (ii) larger-scale leachate-treating columns - both as individual units and as a system connected in cascade - are reported. S-replete power output was ∼2... Read More about Effects of sulphate addition and sulphide inhibition on microbial fuel cells.

Bi-directional electrical characterisation of microbial fuel cell (2013)
Journal Article
Ieropoulos, I. A., Greenman, J., Ledezma, P., Degrenne, N., Ledezma, P., Bevilacqua, P., …Ieropoulos, I. (2013). Bi-directional electrical characterisation of microbial fuel cell. Bioresource Technology, 128, 769-773. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2012.10.110

The electrical performance of microbial fuel cells in steady-state is usually investigated by standard characterisation methods that reveal many important parameters e.g. maximum power. This paper introduces a novel " bi-directional" method to study... Read More about Bi-directional electrical characterisation of microbial fuel cell.

MFC-cascade stacks maximise COD reduction and avoid voltage reversal under adverse conditions (2013)
Journal Article
Ledezma, P., Greenman, J., & Ieropoulos, I. (2013). MFC-cascade stacks maximise COD reduction and avoid voltage reversal under adverse conditions. Bioresource Technology, 134, 158-165. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2013.01.119

Six continuous-flow Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) configured as a vertical cascade and tested under different electrical connections are presented. When in parallel, stable operation and higher power and current densities than individual MFCs were obse...

Comparing the short and long term stability of biodegradable, ceramic and cation exchange membranes in microbial fuel cells (2013)
Journal Article
Chambers, L. D., Winfield, J., Chambers, L., Rossiter, J., & Ieropoulos, I. (2013). Comparing the short and long term stability of biodegradable, ceramic and cation exchange membranes in microbial fuel cells. Bioresource Technology, 148, 480-486. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2013.08.163

The long and short-term stability of two porous dependent ion exchange materials; starch-based compostable bags (BioBag) and ceramic, were compared to commercially available cation exchange membrane (CEM) in microbial fuel cells. Using bi-directional... Read More about Comparing the short and long term stability of biodegradable, ceramic and cation exchange membranes in microbial fuel cells.

MPL based anode for improved performance in microbial fuel cells (2013)
Conference Proceeding
You, J., Santoro, C., Greenman, J., Melhuish, C., Cristiani, P., Li, B., & Ieropoulos, I. (2013). MPL based anode for improved performance in microbial fuel cells

Copyright © 2013 Delta Energy and Environment. Two different anode materials, carbon veil and carbon cloth, were modified with a micro-porous layer for microbial fuel cells. 2.2 and 1.8 times higher power was achieved as a result of this modification...
