Investigation of physico-chemical parameters effect on microbial fuel cell operation

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a novel technology that can be used for electricity generation. MFC was optimized in terms of various operating conditions. To obtain a desirable performance, it is essential to understand the influential factors on the MFC. The performance of the MFC dependent on several factors such as temperature, pH, substrate concentration. The performance was analyzed under three temperatures. The various substrates that have been explored in such as acetate and glucose. The best pH obtained at 6.8. Therefore, operating conditions should be properly decided for the best operation in order to obtain power.
