Make a Microbial Fuel Cell
We get a lot of questions about how to make MFCs and what materials we use. We have put together a series of handouts and information files that you may find useful, depending on your level of familiarity with MFCs.
Handouts prepared for general public on MFCs and MECs

Microbial Fuel Cell FAQ - How MFCs work and a general description
Microbial Fuel Cells Developed at Penn State - General handout with pictures and short text explanation of various types of MFCs and MECs made at Penn State
Technical brief-1: MECs or BEAMR reactors that produce hydrogen gas (non-fermentation approach)
Technical brief- 2: Information on how we plan to scale up MFCs using brush anodes and tubular cathodes.

Information sheets for making MFCs and media, and frequently asked questions

Making an air cathode. See this document on preparation of a cathode with catalyst, binder, and diffusion layers
Anode: See document on this procedure for ammonia treatment of the anode.
Media: see document on a complete recipe used in our lab. Note that you don’t need to add the vitamins, and if you are using tap water, you probably don’t need the trace minerals.
Inoculation? - See sheet on inoculation, but we often just use solution from an existing MFC.
Making a cube-type MFC. See this for a description of our “cube” type of MFC which has a cylindrical anode chamber.
Guide to making your own MFC - Karl Shellenberger’s advice on coming up with an MFC design (cheaply!).
Questions? - See the “Frequently asked questions” file for information on manufacturers and other aspects of MFCs.

Examples of student MFC projects (universities and public schools):

Aaron Ong (7th grade student at Terman Middle School) built an MFC for his science fair project. He used two 0.5 L water bottles attached back to back and connected them with a salt bridge (made of agar). The source of organic matter was rotten vegetables and diluted Dr. Pepper. The total cost of the system was $2. (11-1-08)
Ian Bennett (7th grade, La Entrada School) for the local science fair build an MFC. His project was "Generating Electricity From Wastewater Using A Microbial Fuel Cell". It had a a very simple design, but generated a 152.45 mV (2008) Abstract
