Abstract

Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) technology shows a remarkable potential as a carbon-neutral and renewable energy technology. The aim of our research is to improve the system performance by focusing on: device design, electrode morphology and low-cost materials. With the aim of investigating the impact that the anode morphology has on the structure and electron transfer capability of the electroactive anodic biofilm, in this study we have developed and tested innovative 3D printed, micro-structured electrodes as the anode material.
