New fragmented electro-active biofilm (FAB) reactor to increase anode surface area and performance of microbial fuel cell

Abstract Background Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology is a promising sustainable future energy source with a renewable and abundant substrate. MFC critical drawbacks are anode surface area limitations and electrochemical loss. Recent studies recommend thick anode biofilm growth due to the synerge...
