Abstract
The performance of a yeast MFC is improved by applying a dc voltage V appl to its anode without causing extra energy to be spent on the MFC.
Key findings
- Application of dc voltage to anode enhances yeast MFC performance
- No extra energy is spent on the MFC due to voltage application
- Yeast MFC performance improvement is attributed to electrostatic enhancement
