Graphite Fiber Brush Anodes for Increased Power Production in Air-Cathode Microbial Fuel Cells
TL;DR: Findings show that brush anodes that have high surface areas and a porous structure can produce high power densities, and therefore have qualities that make them ideal for scaling up MFC systems.

Electricity production by geobacter sulfurreducens attached to electrodes
Daniel R. Bond,Derek R. Lovley +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the effectiveness of microbial fuel cells can be increased with organisms such as G. sulfurreducens that can attach to electrodes and remain viable for long periods of time while completely oxidizing organic substrates with quantitative transfer of electrons to an electrode.

Hong Liu,Bruce E. Logan +1 more
TL;DR: An analysis based on available anode surface area and maximum bacterial growth rates suggests that mediatorless MFCs may have an upper order-of-magnitude limit in power density of 10(3) mW/m2.
