Implementation of stackable photosynthetic microbial fuel cell structure using stainless steel mesh membrane electrode assembly

This paper presents a fabrication and measurement of stackable photosynthetic microbial fuel cell (MFC) with integrating two cathode chambers in unit cell that increases surface power density compared to conventional photosynthetic MFC structures. Stackable MFC is realized by newly proposed membrane electrode assembly (MEA) structure which includes proton exchange membrane (PEM) and stainless steel mesh anode. A performance of proposed MEA and MFC is characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and current-power curve measurements.
