Maximum electricity generation from low cost sediment microbial fuel cell using copper and zinc electrodes (original) (raw)

2017, 2017 International Conference on Information, Communication, Instrumentation and Control (ICICIC)

A low cost Sediment Microbial fuel cell designed to provide an opportunity to produce renewable energy from sediment. The power produced by the MFC by microbes present in sediment. In this paper maximum energy extraction is investigated with copper anode and zinc cathode and compare with previous work. Here maximum generated voltage and current of sediment MFC was 1.160V and 0.301mA. Maximum power in sediment MFC with copper anode was 3.491mW for steady state operating condition. Sediment Microbial fuel cell is gifted for sustainable cheap-cost green electricity produce, stable power generation and the long-term operation of MFCs. Sediment microbial fuel cells can be used as a renewable power source for remote environmental monitoring.
