- Microbial fuel Cells (MFC) are bioprocesses that treat wastewaters energy efficiently. Cell voltage reversals are a major hurdle for the deployment of MFC stacks at scale. This paper presents a unique approach that can not only increase stack voltages but avoids the reversal of cell voltage thus increasing stability and performance of MFCs. This approach prevented a 75% reduction in voltage output compared to uncontrolled MFCs. This approach was used to support a BBSRC collaborative project £486,899 entitled ToOLTuBES, (BBSRC/ BB/R005613/1 ).
