Journal Article
Greenman, J., Thorn, R., Willey, N., & Ieropoulos, I. (2024). Energy harvesting from plants using hybrid microbial fuel cells; potential applications and future exploitation. Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 12, Article 1276176. https://doi.org/10.3389/fbioe.2024.1276176

Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) can be fuelled using biomass derived from dead plant material and can operate on plant produced chemicals such as sugars, carbohydrates, polysaccharides and cellulose, as well as being “fed” on a regular diet of primary bio...

Impact of disinfectant on the electrical outputs of urine-fed ceramic and membrane-less microbial fuel cell cascades (2024)
Journal Article
You, J., Walter, X. A., Gajda, I., Greenman, J., & Ieropoulos, I. (2024). Impact of disinfectant on the electrical outputs of urine-fed ceramic and membrane-less microbial fuel cell cascades. International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 57, 759-763. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2024.01.042

The application of microbial fuel cells in sanitation has demonstrated feasibility in supplying electricity and providing safety in underserved communities, especially at toilet blocks. Two different designs of urine fed MFC cascades, ceramic MFCs (c...
