  • Utilization of natural and supplemental biofuels for harvesting energy from marine sediments

    Creator:
    Nielsen, Mark E.
    Abstract:
    A benthic microbial fuel cell (BMFC) is an electrochemical device that generates current from the redox gradient at the sediment-water interface. Early prototypes had anodes buried in anoxic sediments and cathodes in overlying water. The BMFCs described in this dissertation are based on a chamber design that enables the use...

  • Understanding the anodic mechanism of a seafloor fuel cell

    Creator:
    Ryckelynck, Natacha
    Abstract:
    Anoxic sediment overlain by oxic seawater establishes a voltage gradient on the order of 0.7-0.8V across the sediment-water interface. This study follows Reimers et al. (2001) and Tender et al. (2002) who reported the development of a seafloor fuel cell to harvest electrical energy from this potential difference. Prototype fuel...
