Rainwater-driven microbial fuel cells for power generation in remote areas

In a new report now published on Royal Society Open Science, Mohammed Taha Amen and a team of scientists in bio-nanosystem engineering, chemical engineering and microbiology at the Chonbuk National University of South Korea, and the Zagazig University, Egypt, showed the possibility of using rainwater as a sustainable analyte in an air-cathode microbial fuel cell (MFC). The results showed how the constructs could work within a specific temperature range, under aerobic and anaerobic environments.
