Cathode development and reactor design for scaling-up microbial fuel cells

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...

Enhancing hydrogen production in microbial electrolysis cells through development of platinum-free cathode and improvement of reactor design

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...

Mixed reactant single chamber fuel cell, using products generated from the electrolysis of an aqueous electrolyte

Creator:: Jost, William C.
Abstract:: A Mixed Reactant Single Chamber (MRSC) Fuel Cell is a relatively recent concept in the field of fuel cell engineering originally developed in the late 1950’s. Typical fuel cells have separated reactants (a separated fuel and oxidizer) that react on their usually non-selective electro-catalytic materials. A mixed reactant fuel cell...

Development of an economical high temperature microchannel recuperator for solid oxide fuel cells

Creator:: Brannon, Samuel T.
Abstract:: To improve the performance of solid oxide fuel cells, a secondary power cycle can be driven by the recuperation of exhaust gas heat. Microchannel recuperators are attractive for waste heat recuperation due to compact form factors which also minimize the mass of the expensive superalloys required. This paper introduces a...
