Bio-electrochemical characterization of air-cathode microbial fuel cells with microporous polyethylene/silica membrane as separator

The aim of this work was to study the behavior over time of a separator made of a low-cost and non-selective microporous polyethylene membrane (RhinoHide®) in an air-cathode microbial fuel cell with a reticulated vitreous carbon foam bioanode. Performances of the microporous polyethylene membrane (R...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The aim of this work was to study the behavior over time of a separator made of a low-cost and non-selective microporous polyethylene membrane (RhinoHide®) in an air-cathode microbial fuel cell with a reticulated vitreous carbon foam bioanode. Performances of the microporous polyethylene membrane (RhinoHide®) were compared with Nafion®-117 as a cationic exchange membrane. A non-parametric test (Mann–Whitney) done on the different sets of coulombic or energy efficiency data showed no significant difference between the two types of tested membrane (p
