Advanced Nanomaterials And Nanocomposites For Bioelectrochemical Systems (Micro And Nano Technologies)

Advanced Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites for Bioelectrochemical Systems covers the advancement in nanomaterial and nanocomposite application for microbial fuel cells. Microbial fuel cells are bio-electrochemical devices that generate electricity, using wastewater as the anode feed, through the degradation of organic matter in wastewater. One of the advantages of using microbial fuel cells is the simultaneous treatment of wastewater and the generation of electricity from complex organic waste and biomass, which demonstrates that microbial fuel cells are an active area of frontier research. In microbial fuel cells, bacteria and microorganisms interact with the electrode to form a biofilm on the anode surface. The addition of microorganisms is essential to enhance the reaction kinetics. This type of fuel cell helps to convert complex organic waste into useful energy through the metabolic activity of microorganisms, thereby generating energy. By incorporating nano-scale fillers into the nanocomposite matrix, the performance of the anode material can be improved. This is an important reference source for materials scientists and engineers who want to learn more about how nanotechnology is being used to create more efficient fuel cells. Describes the major nanomaterials and nanocomposites used in microbial fuel cells Explains how microbial fuel cells are being used in renewable energy applications Assesses the challenges of manufacturing nanomaterials for microbial fuel cells on an industrial scale
