Microbial Fuel Cell Market Size To Expand at a Notable CAGR Of 9.00% During 2022-2030

Pune, India, January 2019/MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has published a half-cooked research report on the Global Microbial Fuel Cell Market.

Market Highlights

Microbial fuel cell is a bio-electrochemical device that uses bacteria as the catalysts to oxidize organic and inorganic matter and generate current. Also, microbial is a fuel cell which transforms chemical energy into electricity using oxidation reduction reactions. MFC consists of an two electrodes (anode and cathode) and membrane (a area that separates two electrodes). Microbes at anode oxidizes the organic fuel generating proton and electrons. Protons passes through membrane to cathode and electrons passes through anode to external circuit in order to generate current. MFC has gained attention due to its ability to generate power from organic or inorganic compounds through microorganisms.
