Description | Key Findings: Our key findings are that: (1) Mediator free p-MFC were developed for long term use. (2) A range of new porous conducting anodes have been developed (3) baseline cells have been developed and fully tested. These cells are now being used in more advanced tests of p-MFC as environmental sensors. |
