I always see the term "coloumbic efficiency" in nearly all MFC publication. I am a microbiologist and I have little about electricity and physics but I would like to know more about and understand that important term.
The Coulombic efficiency, C, is
defined as the ratio of total Coulombs actually transferred
to the anode from the substrate, to maximum possible
Coulombs if all substrate removal produced current. The
total Coulombs obtained is determined by integrating the
current over time,
What is the difference between broad and sharp cyclic volatmmetric curves? and what are the reasons for broad curve? especially when analyzing carbon material?
