Africa's energy trilemma requires solutions that are sufficient, affordable, and sustainable amidst growing demand. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) convert organic waste into clean energy, promising rural ...

Somewhere under a patch of ordinary garden soil, billions of bacteria are quietly going about their business eating organic matter, releasing electrons, and in doing so, producing a faint but constant ...

Microbial electrochemical systems (MES) are gaining significant attention for their potential to tackle pressing environmental challenges. By harnessing microorganisms to transfer electrons, MES can ...

Microbial electrochemical systems harness the ability of specialised microorganisms to exchange electrons with electrodes, enabling the direct conversion of organic substrates or light energy into ...

From cabbage cores to carbon nanotubes, researchers are rethinking microbial fuel cell anodes to improve biofilm growth, boost electron transfer, and move wastewater-to-energy systems closer to ...
