Smart miniature microbial fuel cell design for increased electricity generation and waste water treatment
Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are a green sustainable energy with minimal carbon footprint, suitable for wastewater remediation and generation of useful amounts of electricity. This study focuses on the architecture and rapid prototyping materials used for building MFCs that are likely to affect the overall performance. Three MFC versions of the same design were made out of three different polymers and compared with a different MFC design under different electrical configurations in terms of power production and COD reduction. Power densities of individual units, connected in parallel and in series configuration reached up to 2.1 mA/m2, 4.9 mA/m2 and 9.5 mA/m2 respectively.

Abstract
Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are a green sustainable energy with minimal carbon footprint, suitable for wastewater remediation and generation of useful amounts of electricity. This study focuses on the architecture and rapid prototyping materials used for building MFCs that are likely to affect the overall performance. Three MFC versions of the same design were made out of three different polymers and compared with a different MFC design under different electrical configurations in terms of power production and COD reduction. Power densities of individual units, connected in parallel and in series configuration reached up to 2.1 mA/m2, 4.9 mA/m2 and 9.5 mA/m2 respectively.
