Abstract

Abstract: In this work two different configurations of MFCs are tested, evaluating the importance of the operative conditions on power production. All the MFCs were fabricated employing 3D printing technologies and, by using biocompatible materials as for the body as for the electrodes, are analyzed the point of strength and development needed at the state of the art for this particular application. Power productions and stability in terms of energy production are deepen investigated for both the systems in order to quantify how much power can be extracted from the bacteria when a load is fixed for long time.
