Passive air breathing flat‐plate microbial fuel cell operation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract BACKGROUND High cost and ohmic loss are two issues that microbial fuel cells ( MFC ) face before becoming economically viable. To address the high cost and ohmic loss issues, a flat‐plate MFC ( FPMFC ) configuration applying a passive air‐breathing cathode and a three‐dimensional anode was introduced. Electricity generation was examined in the FPMFC through operation in the presence and absence of a proton exchange membrane ( PEM ), and in batch and continuous modes. RESULTS Continuous operation of the FPMFC in the presence of a PEM favored power generation, mainly due to elimination of oxygen and biomass in the anode. Peak power density of 18 Wm ‐3 was produced in the presence of a PEM (ohmic resistance 40 Ω cm 2 ), which was more than 5‐fold higher than that with J‐cloth. During batch operation, the power density increased and reached maximum in the third batch (18 W m ‐3 at 60 A m ‐3 ). Greater stability was observed during continuous operation resulting in a 2.5‐fold increase in peak power density (44 W m ‐3 at 146 A m ‐3 ). CONCLUSION The passive air‐breathing FPMFC showed promising performance, offering a more economically viable configuration than the conventional FPMFCs using active (air, ferricyanide, and ferric iron) cathodes. © 2014 Crown copyright.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
