Abstract:In the present study, a new technology that coupled constructed wetland (CW) with microbial fuel cell (MFC) (CW-MFC) was developed to convert solar energy into electricity on the principles of photosynthetic MFC by utilizing root exudates of Ipomoea aquatica as part of fuel. The maximum power density of 12.42 mW m −2 produced from the CW-MFC planted with Ipomoea aquatica was 142% higher than that of 5.13 mW m −2 obtained from the unplanted CW-MFC. The maximum power output for the planted CW-MFC could be divide… Show more
“…One clump with two or three stems of vetiver with an average height of 25 cm was planted in each reactor at 6–6.5 cm depth. Glucose as a carbon source and several nutrients were supplemented in the form of synthetic wastewater . The nutrient medium was buffered at pH 7.4 with 50 mM phosphate buffer solution.…”

“…Three different scenarios have been observed in PMFCs so far, marshy grass operated PMFCs strictly for electricity generation; paddy PMFCs for biomass and bioelectricity generation; and macrophyte functioned constructed wetland microbial fuel cells (CW‐MFCs) for simultaneous electricity generation and pollutant removal from wastewater . In the former two, the anode region is firmly attached with the rhizosphere region of plant for harnessing fuel derived from rhizodeposition of the plant, while in the latter one, plant can be planted either at the anode or cathode chamber . Planting at the cathode is to augment reduction reactions by photosynthetic oxygen released from plants .…”
Novel earthen pot–plant microbial fuel cells (PMFCs) are constructed as a wastewater filtering and microelectrical power system. Its performance is investigated at different influent chemical oxygen demand (COD) strengths of 50 mg L−1 (P‐COD50), 250 mg L−1 (P‐COD250), and 500 mg L−1 (P‐COD500). Two reference reactors, one unplanted with 250 mg L−1 (UP‐COD250) and another planted with tap water devoid of external supply of organic (P‐COD0), are constructed to show the effects of plants in treatment ability and electricity generation. Maximum average current density is achieved in P‐COD250, that is, 242 ± 10.5 mA m−2 followed by UP‐COD250, P‐COD50, P‐COD500, and P‐COD0. Polarization curves also depicts a similar order for power density. Variations of power output in low and high concentrated units are accompanied with lower substrates for bacteria in the former while the latter is due to osmotic shock of plants at higher COD concentration. At the same influent concentration, planted reactors enhances current density by 12.5%. Organic removal ability is promising in all the reactors, reaching almost 99%. However, plants enhanced, on average, 3% in COD removal. High COD removal is achieved with higher retention time. Planted reactors shows more significant increments in current during daytime after feeding than unplanted reactors, suggesting the role of root exudates via photosynthates in current generation. These results can help in further optimizing of PMFCs in terms of configuration and substrates.

“…Figure 8.6 shows current available strategies for treatment wetlands operated as vertical flow MFC (adapted from Doherty et al, 2015) and Figure 8.6 (bottom), shows treatment wetlands operated under HF MFCs. Studies dealing with these aspects have only recently been published (Yadav et al, 2012;Fang et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2013;Zhao et al, 2013). The most common material for electrodes are graphite-based materials (either in the form of rods, granules or plates).…”
