    MFC Experiments and Studies

      Definition

      A microbial fuel cell (MFC) generates an electrical current by bacteria converting chemical energy (fuel) into electrical energy. This chemical reaction occurs when fuel is oxidized by bacteria and free electrons are gained by this oxidation.
