Regarding the Hybrid Fuel Cell: On a Design Interlinking and Gaining the Most From Microbial and Hydrogen-Powered Fuel Cells
Abstract
As renewable-energy technologies are garnering much attention due to the necessary mitigation of climate change, the requirement for a fuel cell utilizing a clean source of dihydrogen input appears to be of the utmost importance. The following work hypothesizes a hybrid fuel cell utilizing both microbial and technological means for clean in-situ hydrogen production and subsequent energy production at potentially higher rates than standardized microbial fuel cells and with a negative carbon footprint.
