著者：M. Tominaga題名：Development of Mud Battery for Sustainable Power Supply for IoT発表情報：Department Seminar of Chemical Engineering, Institute Teknologi Sepuluh Nopemberキーワード：概要：Efficient transformation from chemical potential to electrical energy is important for developing advanced energy conversion and storage technologies to reduce our dependence on conventional fossil fuels as energy sources. Fuel cell is a key device for the chemical-electrical energy transformation. Specially, microbial fuel cell (MFC) is unique approach for the energy conversion system. Microorganism acts as a catalyst of the MFC to oxidize organic matter. Thus, the MFC has eminent merits of universality in various organic fuels, capability in treating wastewater, mild reaction conditions, and low cost. The MFC has attracted considerable interest in scientific research recently. Usually, the electrode is attached to microorganisms, which forms the anodic electrode for the MFC, and requires the anaerobic conditions necessary for the microorganisms to grow. In the previously reported MFC required a closed cavity to protect oxygen permeation. On the other hand, we set the anode inside a mud. The mud protects oxygen permeation. Our research group calls this mud microbial fuel cell system (MMFC), just “mud battery”. The MMFC does not require a closed cavity for protection of oxygen.
Recently, IoT (internet of things) is paid the most attention because of development of 5G LTE. Everything can connect Internet via 5G LTE. Even though under this situation, the IoT device requires the energy to operate it. Sustainable energy is suitable to operate the IoT devise because of no requirement of the battery exchange (Fig. 1). The MFC has the great potential for use of the IoT devise battery as a sustainable energy.抄録：英語フィールド
