Nikhil Gn

IR in MFC is inevitable... since the cell compositions vary with species and cell count varies with time .. so the IR in the MFC as well varies..

Chandrasekhar Kuppam

Hi nikhil,

Ya i am agree with you opinion ...

Recently i observed that researcher are more interested to fabricate a fuel cell with tiniest internal resistance to improve fuel cell efficiency.

Bhargav Ram

Hi Chandrasekhar,

Good question, But i think still much more research is necessary to reduce the IR in fuel cell operations. According to my knowledge peoples were trying for this even in India in the area of microbial fuel cell technology. All the best.

Rite chandu.. now research is on micro and nano level MFC where the IR could be reduce at the possible extent.. and then such micro MFCs are integrated resulting in amplified O/P... hopefully...

Yes. Electrode spacing and architecture of microbial fuel cells also strongly influence the internal resistance.

Arunjyoti Banik

As far as I think, through series-parallel connection of electrodes the problem of internal resistance can be confronted somewhat because connecting in series will add up the voltage and simultaneously parallel connection will increase the current keeping the resistance constant.

Owen Rubaba

low external resistance values also result in low internal resistance values from ohms law. Biofilm thickness is also suggested as a factor. factors that favor biofilm formation eg low external resistances are useful

Microbial Fuel Cell operated with lower external resistance leads to steady increment in dynamic capacities of the biocatalyst with continuous current generation.

Hey chandra have you published this?? I would love to look on it.

Hi Arunjyoti...

I was very happy to hearing from you

This work not yet published.

Please don't hesitate to contact me, if there is anything else that I can help.

with best regards..

Thank you very much..

Dear Brother Find these attachment. These will be helpful.

Internal resistance is inversely proportional to performance. Therefore, if you want to record or observe significant results, pay attention to electrode material and surface area, the conductivity of electrolytes, reactor volume, orientation vs inter-electrode distance. Of course, there are other factors, but these are key.
