  • Microbial fuel cell with flexible substrate and micro-pillar structure
    Patent number: 7976968
    Abstract: A microbial fuel cell includes a bio-compatible body having a micro-pillar structure defining an anode compartment adapted to contain a catalyst that metabolizes glucose to generate electrons and protons. A nano-porous membrane prevents loss of the catalyst from the anode compartment, while providing fluid access for ingress of glucose fuel and egress of waste.
    Type: Grant
