Microbial fuel cell for converting nutrients with biocatalysts into energy has anode and cathode areas with conductive agents with an ion conductive membrane ion between

摘要

An anode area (1) and a cathode area (2) each involve conductive agents. An anode (3,5) fits in the anode area and a cathode (4) in the cathode area. An ion conductive membrane (7) between the anode and cathode areas separates the anode area from the cathode area. The anode has a material that is electrocatalytically active. An independent claim is also included for a method for generating a current by using a microbial fuel cell.
