Fuel Cells Using Organic Redox Compounds by Jun Mizuguchi Pdf

In living systems, hydrogen supplied from the TCA cycle is transferred to molecular oxygen and oxidized by the electron carrier system, thereby generating energy. It appears that the reversible redox system such as the electron carrier system has not yet been studied in vitro. It was considered that the system of cystine-cysteine containing ferric ion or that of quinone-hydroquinone containing an enzyme might act like the electron carrier system. The authors attempted to use the electron carrier system at the cathode of a fuel cell to obtain a greater amount of electric current. As a result, it has been demonstrated that a fuel cell, based on the model of carrier systems, shows the properties of larger current density and capacity than the ordinary fuel cell and following the model of the carrier system, oxidation and reduction can be repeated alternately without consumption of reactants.

Microbial Fuel Cells by Bruce E. Logan Pdf

The theory, design, construction, and operation of microbial fuel cells Microbial fuel cells (MFCs), devices in which bacteria create electrical power by oxidizing simple compounds such as glucose or complex organic matter in wastewater, represent a new and promising approach for generating power. Not only do MFCs clean wastewater, but they also convert organics in these wastewaters into usable energy. Given the world's limited supply of fossil fuels and fossil fuels' impact on climate change, MFC technology's ability to create renewable, carbon-neutral energy has generated tremendous interest around the world. This timely book is the first dedicated to MFCs. It not only serves as an introduction to the theory underlying the development and functioning of MFCs, it also serves as a manual for ongoing research. In addition, author Bruce Logan, a leading pioneer in MFC research and development, provides practical guidance for the effective design and operation of MFCs based on his own firsthand experience. This reference covers everything you need to fully understand MFCs, including: * Key topics such as voltage and power generation, MFC materials and architecture, mass transfer to bacteria and biofilms, bioreactor design, and fundamentals of electron transfer * Applications across a wide variety of scales, from power generation in the laboratory to approaches for using MFCs for wastewater treatment * The role of MFCs in the climate change debate * Detailed illustrations of bacterial and electrochemical concepts * Charts, graphs, and tables summarizing key design and operation variables * Practice problems and step-by-step examples Microbial Fuel Cells, with its easy-to-follow explanations, is recommended as both a textbook for students and professionals interested in entering the field and as a complete reference for more experienced practitioners.

Microbial Electrochemical and Fuel Cells by Keith Scott,Eileen Hao Yu Pdf

Microbial Electrochemical and Fuel Cells: Fundamentals and Applications contains the most updated information on bio-electrical systems and their ability to drive an electrical current by mimicking bacterial interactions found in nature to produce a small amount of power. One of the most promising features of the microbial fuel cell is its application to generate power from wastewater, and its use in the treatment of water to remove contaminants, making it a very sustainable source of power generation that can feasibly find application in rural areas where providing more conventional sources of power is often difficult. The book explores, in detail, both the technical aspects and applications of this technology, and was written by an international team of experts in the field who provide an introduction to microbial fuel cells that looks at their electrochemical principles and mechanisms, explains the materials that can be used for the various sections of the fuel cells, including cathode and anode materials, and provides key analysis of microbial fuel cell performance looking at their usage in hydrogen production, waste treatment, and sensors, amongst other applications. Includes coverage of the types and principles of electrochemical cells Provides information on the construction of fuel cells and appropriate materials Presents the latest on this renewable source of energy and the process for the treatment of waste water

Bioelectrochemical Systems by Korneel Rabaey,Lars Angenent,Uwe Schroder,Jurg Keller Pdf

In the context of wastewater treatment, Bioelectrochemical Systems (BESs) have gained considerable interest in the past few years, and several BES processes are on the brink of application to this area. This book, written by a large number of world experts in the different sub-topics, describes the different aspects and processes relevant to their development. Bioelectrochemical Systems (BESs) use micro-organisms to catalyze an oxidation and/or reduction reaction at an anodic and cathodic electrode respectively. Briefly, at an anode oxidation of organic and inorganic electron donors can occur. Prime examples of such electron donors are waste organics and sulfides. At the cathode, an electron acceptor such as oxygen or nitrate can be reduced. The anode and the cathode are connected through an electrical circuit. If electrical power is harvested from this circuit, the system is called a Microbial Fuel Cell; if electrical power is invested, the system is called a Microbial Electrolysis Cell. The overall framework of bio-energy and bio-fuels is discussed. A number of chapters discuss the basics – microbiology, microbial ecology, electrochemistry, technology and materials development. The book continues by highlighting the plurality of processes based on BES technology already in existence, going from wastewater based reactors to sediment based bio-batteries. The integration of BESs into existing water or process lines is discussed. Finally, an outlook is provided of how BES will fit within the emerging biorefinery area.

Biochemical Fuel Cells by Shuichi Suzuki Pdf

Studies on fuel cells which attempt to extract and recover the energy generated by the burning of fuel in the form of electrical energy are presently being vigorously pursued. One of the most promising approaches seems to be the utilization of the cells employing a gas such as oxygen or hydrogen as an electrolytically active substance. Biochemical fuel cells which use organic materials or simple inorganic salts as fuel and convert chemical energy into electrical energy are also being investigated. In the latter case, reactions at both anode and cathode are designed to be carried out catalytically by biochemical methods closely paralleling redox reactions. It is recognized that the biochemical energetics characteristic of living systems may be heuristically interpreted as examples of energy generation. In particular, the energy reactions of the electron carrier system found in organisms may be so analyzed. A review is presented of the pertinent experimental literature.
