The problem of low efficiency was solved by using doping. However, to ensure the correct application of impurities to the material, complex methods and expensive equipment are required. Researchers from ITMO University have proposed a cheaper technology to create "invisible" solar pa...

Physicists at ITMO University have discovered a new method that can use transparent materials for solar cells while maintaining their efficiency. The new technology is based on doping methods, which change the properties of materials by adding impurities, but does not require the use of expens...

4、 Increase natural gas production Anaerobic digestion - Microorganisms decompose biodegradable or waste materials without the need for oxygen, and recover energy from wastewater by producing biogas (mainly the main component of natural gas). But this process is usually ine...

3、 Microbial desalination tank Another variant of microbial fuel cells is microbial desalination batteries. These devices utilize bacteria to generate electricity, such as from wastewater, while also desalinating water. Place the water to be desalinated into a chamber sandw...

1、 Fecal microbiota Biodegradable substances in waste such as feces and urine can be converted into electrical energy. This has been confirmed in a microbial fuel cell toilet in Ghana, indicating that the toilet may become a potential power station in the future. This two year...

How they work MFCs use a system consisting of anode and cathode electrodes, which can be input or output through current. A common MFCs system consists of an anode chamber and a cathode chamber separated by a membrane. Bacteria grow on the anode and convert the substrate into carbon...
