| Research Abstract |
Unique correlations between exchange current density and overvoltage, and between electrical resistivity and limit current density have been found out based on polarization curves of the sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFC) that have different conditions. Therefore, it is possible to choose appropriate material and environmental conditions for SMFC. From this research, basic technologies for: (1) Efficient electron transfer, (2) Preventing the evolution of toxic substances (e.g. hydrogen sulfide), (3) Transforming and decomposing organic matter to biotic substrates, and (4) Lighting LED were developed.
