ELECTRICITY GENERATION USING PHOTOTROPHIC MICROBIAL FUEL CELLS

摘要

A sediment-type self-sustained phototrophic microbial fuel cell (100) for generating electricity through the syntrophic interaction between photo synthetic microorganisms and heterotrophic bacteria in algae cultivation ponds (102) used for biodiesel production. The microbial fuel cell is operable to continuously produce electricity without the external input of exogenous organics or nutrients.
