  • Biohybrid fuel cell and method
    Patent number: 10700375
    Abstract: A biohybrid dual chamber fuel cell and method for producing sustainable electrical power from unprocessed biomass include a microbial fuel cell (MFC) for processing the biomass into a clean fuel, a direct alcohol fuel cell (DAFC) operatively connected to the microbial fuel cell for oxidizing the clean fuel to generate electrical power and a separation barrier in the form of a reverse osmosis membrane disposed intermediate the MFC and the DAFC which prevents the diffusion of impurities from the MFC into the DAFC and the return flow of oxidation by-products from the DAFC into the MFC.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 5, 2016
    Date of Patent: June 30, 2020
    Assignee: Teledyne Scientific & Imaging, LLC
    Inventors: Rahul Ganguli, Payam Minoofar, Pavan Narain Mehrotra, Peter Malati
