Abstract
Microbial fuel cell (MFC) systems have been developed for potential use as power sources, along with several other applications, with bacteria as the prime factor enabling electrocatalytic activity. Limited voltage and current production from unit cells limit their practical applicability, so stacking multiple MFCs has been proposed as a way to increase power production. Special attention is paid to voltage reversal (VR), a common occurrence in stacked MFCs, and to identifying the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon. We also proposed realistic perspectives on stacked MFCs in an effort to control and suppress VR by balancing the kinetics in the system, such as using enriched electroactive microorganisms or altering the circuitry mode.
Keywords
microbial fuel cell; stackable MFC; voltage reversal; electroactive microorganisms; kinetics imbalance
