Creator:: Xu, Shoutao
Abstract:: Microbial electrochemical systems (MESs) have attracted much research attention in recent years due to their promising applications in renewable energy generation, bioremediation, and wastewater treatment. In a MES, microorganisms interact with electrodes via electrons, catalyzing oxidation and reduction reactions at the anode and the cathode. The bacterial community of a...

Creator:: Janicek, Anthony M.
Abstract:: Developing new wastewater treatment technologies which will off-set the high-energy cost associated with treatment is necessary to maintain both water and energy security. Microbial fuel cell technology represents one such option. However, there are still many obstacles to overcome before practical application of this technology can be realized. Improving cathode...

Creator:: Abourached, Carole
Abstract:: While water scarcity and energy demand are continuously increasing in the world, alternative sources are needed to meet the requirement of a growing population. Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) is a sustainable technology that converts organic matter in wastewater into electricity, thus it can be a potential alternative source for water...

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...

Creator:: Hu, Hongqiang
Abstract:: Microbial electrolysis provides a new approach for hydrogen generation from renewable biomass. At current stage, the most likely limiting factors for successful scale up of this technology are the large internal resistance and high fabrication cost. This dissertation presents an attempt to overcome these limitations by investigating novel microbial electrolysis...

Creator:: Li, Cheng
Abstract:: Further enhancement of energy generation is desired for practical application of anaerobic microbial systems such as microbial fuel cells (MFC) and anaerobic digesters (AD). A possible approach is to enhance the ability of microbial communities to transfer electron extracellularly in the form of electrical current. Critical to perform direct extracellular...

Creator:: Luterra, Markael
Abstract:: Photobiological hydrogen production -- the use of photosynthesis to split water into hydrogen and oxygen -- presents an opportunity for efficient and large-scale solar biofuel development. One of the major challenges in this area is competition for reductant between the hydrogen-evolving hydrogenase enzyme and other metabolic pathways. In this work...

Creator:: Hauser, Victor Emerald
Abstract:: The graphite anode reaction in a fused carbonate electrolyte is studied theoretically and experimentally. Data on open circuit cell potentials indicate, for operation below 900°C, only a small fraction of the free energy of reaction is converted to electrical work. Anode polarization measurements were made for current densities of up...
