Microbial Fuel Cell Yields 'Practical' Hydrogen

摘要

Using a new electrically-assisted anaerobic microbial fuel cell(MFC),Pennsylvannia State Univ.(PSU; University Park; www.psu.edu)environmental engineers and a scientist at Ion Power Inc.(New Castle DE;www.ion-power.com)have developed a process that enables bacteria to produce four times as much hydrogen directly out of biomass than can be generated by fermentation alone."
