:: Researchers Steps Closer to Generating Electricity Efficiently with Microbial Fuel Cells ::May 2006: Derek R. Lovley, Distinguished Professor of Microbiology, and his team of researchers have significantly increased the electrical output of microbial fuel cells by allowing the bacteria to gather and form a biofilm. The biofilm acts as a conductive mat and allows geobacter to transfer electrons without having direct contact with the electrode. Dr. Lovley presented these findings at a recent meeting of the Electrochemical Society in Denver Colorado . Read more… |
