For the development of long lasting portable microbial fuel cells (MFCs) new strategies are necessary to overcome critical issues such as hydraulic pump system and the biochemical substrate retrieval overtime to sustain bacteria metabolism. The present work proposes the use of a synthetic solid anolyte (SSA), constituted by agar, carbonaceous and nitrogen sources dissolved into diluted seawater. Results of a month-test showed the potential of the new SSA-MFC as a long lasting low energy consuming system.
为了开发持久的便携式微生物燃料电池（MFC），需要新的策略来克服关键问题，例如水力泵系统和随着时间的推移生化底物的回收，以维持细菌代谢。本工作提出使用合成固体阳极液（SSA），由琼脂、碳源和氮源溶解在稀释海水中组成。一个月测试的结果表明，新型 SSA-MFC 作为一种持久的低能耗系统具有潜力。
