Abstract:
Microbial Fuel Cell(MFC) is an emerging technology which under anaerobic conditions, converts chemical energy intheorganicsubstratesto electrical energy through catalytic reactions of microorganisms. This study is aimed to generate bioelectricity using a fabricated MFC with low cost anode and cathode materials without any toxic mediators. We devised MFC using Plain Graphite plates as electrodes. The cathodic electrolytes used were distilled water with NaCl whereas anodic compartments were inoculated with enriched bacterial culture. Anodic and Cathodic chambers were separated by a Proton Exchange Membrane.
