ABSTRACT
In recent decades, the consumption of energy within the world has had a prosperous trend. Energy sources are classified into three batches: fossil fuels, nuclear sources, and renewable sources.
Non-renewable sources of energy, nuclear and fossil negatively influence nature owing to the emission of carbon dioxide that severely imperiled human life through its drastic aftermaths, such as global warming and atmospheric pollution.
However, miscellaneous countries around the world have made remarkable efforts to find a solution for the energy crisis by using renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind, energy produced from water, fuel cells microbial fuel cells (MFCs) which generates energy.
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are devices composed of anode and cathode compartments.
In this study, we show monoculture MFC and not of mixtures bacterial as commonly used.
Operating two cambers MFC with a monoculture of Cupriavidus basilensis under a constant external resistor of 1 kΩ using a minimal medium containing phenol (MMP). The examination of the current generated shows that the maximal current was only 310 mA/m2.
