Additional information

An international collaboration under the EPSRC SUPERGEN Biological Fuel Cell Consortium with UCL and UNSW delivered novel helically designed anodes for bioelechrochemical systems, using novel micro-porous and commercial carbons in scalable arrangements. Considerable reduction in ohmic, mass transfer and activation losses in microbial fuel cells were demonstrated; with substantial electrical power and pollution removal gains. Anodic system design, materials and fluid flow characteristics were shown by modelling and experiment to affect internal losses. Results have informed subsequent published studies on scale-up, real waste substrates, microbial electrolysis, control and low temperature operation.
