Biofilm re-vitalization using hydrodynamic shear stress for stable power generation in microbial fuel cell

Biofilm re-vitalization using hydrodynamic shear stress for stable power generation in microbial fuel cell

Viable electroactive biofilm formation, allowing considerable conversion capacity and opportunities for extracellular electron transfer (EET) is essential for sustainable and long term stable power generation in microbial fuel cells (MFCs). However, over the time, the anodic biofilm can be particula...
