A team of researchers from the Arctic University of Norway’s Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology in Narvik has investigated various modification strategies to improve the performance of anodes for use in microbial fuel cells. The study has been published online in the journal Energies this week.

Microbial Fuel Cells
Microbial fuel cells are a next-generation energy generation solution that has been the focus of intense research in recent years. These devices generate electricity by anaerobically oxidizing substrates. Whilst the devices themselves are a relatively recent development in the field of next-generation energy research, the roots of the technology can be found in the discovery of bioelectricity in the late 18th century by Luigi and…
