The first self-sustainable microbial fuel cell stack (2013)
Journal Article
Ledezma, P., Stinchcombe, A., Greenman, J., & Ieropoulos, I. (2013). The first self-sustainable microbial fuel cell stack. Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 15(7), 2278-2281. https://doi.org/10.1039/c2cp44548d

This study reports for the first time on the development of a self-sustainable microbial fuel cell stack capable of self-maintenance (feeding, hydration, sensing & reporting). Furthermore, the stack system is producing excess energy, which can be use... Read More about The first self-sustainable microbial fuel cell stack.

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...
