The electrochemical performance of microbial fuel cells is conventionally assessed through linear sweep voltammetry at predefined potential scan rates. Nevertheless, this approach frequently falls short in representing the long-term behavior of microbial fuel cells under actual external loads, highlighting the need for a standardized evaluation met...
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are attractive bio-electrochemical transducers that can convert waste and organic substrates into usable energy through the metabolic activity of electroactive microbes. However, the power generated by MFCs is relatively low compared to other types of fuel cells. This poses a serious problem for the practical application...
Abstract Background Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are among the leading research topics in the field of alternative energy sources due to their multifunctional potential. However, their low bio-energy production rate and unstable performance limit their application in the real world. Therefore, optimization is needed to deploy MFCs beyond laboratory-...

Brachystegia eurycoma (BE), Afzelia Africana (AA) and Mucuna solannie (MS) flours were blended (%, w/w) at varying proportions: 50:50, 60:40, 70:30, 80:20 and 100:0, with 100% of flours as the control; then analyzed based on the phyto-chemical, functional and proximate compositions. Tanin, saponin, alkaloid and flavonoid values were 4.19, 1.47, 1.4...
In this study, four different polymeric binders - polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), two-component epoxy (epoxy), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) - were used to fabricate a surface-modified stainless-steel electrode. The polymeric binders were used to bond highly conductive carbon-black to a stainless-steel support using a...
The effects of floral location on the physicochemical and thermal parameters of honey bee samples from Enugu North senatorial zone were evaluated. For physicochemical properties, a 14×5×10 completely randomized design (CRD) with a total of 700 observations (14 physicochemical properties as responses × 5 levels of floral location as treatment × 10 r...
The effect of electrode spacing on a soil microbial fuel cell (MFC) performance under fed-batch treatment with synthetic urine medium (SUM) was investigated at 2, 5, and 8 cm electrode spacing. The electrodes consisted of stainless-steel mesh with coarse layers of carbon-black. The MFCs were fed with SUM when the natural substrate of the medium was...
Electrode materials play a critical role in the performance of microbial fuel cells. This study investigates the contribution of capacitive bio-electrodes to sustainable power production in a single-chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC). The capacitive electrodes consisted of a stainless-steel wire mesh with an activated carbon layer, while the non-cap...
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are bio‐electrochemical devices that use microbial metabolic processes to convert organic substances into electricity with high efficiency. In this study, the performance of a soil‐based MFC using urine as a substrate was assessed using polarization and power density curves. A single‐chamber, membrane‐less MFC with a car...

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology is a promising bio-technology that utilizes the microorganism in organic wastes to generate electricity. Although human urine has been identified as a suitable substrate in MFCs, its possible utilization in a soil-based membrane-less single chamber microbial fuel cell (MSCMFC) for constant power generation has,...
This study was carried out to compare the rate and amount of gas produced from the co-digestion of two different substrates of cow dung and poultry droppings under anaerobic conditions. Biogas production from three(3) cylindrical bio-digesters containing cow dung, poultry dropping, and a mixture of cow dung and poultry droppings under an average te...
The simplicity of the soil-based microbial fuel cells (MFCs) makes them very attractive, as perhaps, the only natural components they need to run are nutrient-rich soil combined with water to form mud. However, the MFC will cease to produce electricity when the soil runs out of its nutrient-rich characteristics and bacteria. It is against this back...

Soil is beginning to attract research attention as suitable inoculums for Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs)
designed for remediation and for electricity generation probably due to its high microbial load.
However, not much has been done in this aspect beyond laboratory based experiment. This study was
aimed at generating electricity from agricultural soi...
A tractor drawn soybean planter was designed, manufactured and tested in DESFABENG Company Limited, Bida, Niger State. The project was undertaken due to the fact that most imported planters usually have maintenance and repair problems, in addition to the high initial cost which is not affordable to an average farmer. The main components of the deve...
Urine has been identified as a suitable substrate in Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC). However, its possible utilization in a soil-based Membrane-less Single Chamber Microbial Fuel Cell (MSCMFC) has, hitherto, not been reported. This study used the mud-watt MFC vessel inoculated with mud prepared from topsoil, and was operated across seven external loads...

This study was carried out to extract oils from cashew shell and its kernel and to characterize the oils; with the view to ascertain their suitability for consumption and other uses. Soxhlet apparatus was used for the extraction using hexane as solvent. The physical and chemical properties of the extracted oil were analyzed. The percentage oil extr...
ABSTRACT: This study presents the development and preliminary performance evaluation of an improved electronic pest repeller with automatic frequency variation.

I received an email this morning from an address ending in "@sciencepostnetwork.com". They ask me to provide links to my publications so they can create news stories that can be published in many digital media. Here is an excerpt from the email:
"As Google news receives millions of hits each day from a broader audience including professionals and students, only a few exceptional researchers are selected and invited to submit their work, and you are invited! We are a specialist agency "Scientific Media" working within the research community to produce high-value, impactful communications content for researchers. This content is made available to a broad global audience and distributed to over 500+ premium news sites including Google News, Google News, WND, Bing News, Ask, CBS, CNN, Bloomberg & More, which also include key research community actors, research peers, government figures, funding agencies, policy makers, NGOs, charities, schools and libraries, investors and commercial entities, and many more"
We recently used QIIME2 to perform bioinformatics analysis on the results of PCR amplification and sequencing of 16S rDNA, and I found Daphnia_magna as one of the species assigned as shown below:
d__Bacteria;p__Bacteroidota;c__Bacteroidia;o__Flavobacteriales;f__Flavobacteriaceae;g__Flavobacterium;s__Daphnia_magna.
Please help me. I have read much about Daphnia_magna as a small planktonic crustacean but I don't understand why it is assigned this way. Among the known species of the genus Flavobacterium, the closest name is F. magnum. Please what could be wrong? Is there a Daphnia_magnum that is a bacterium?
I am confused and trying to understand the capacitance of an electrode material and the double layer capacitance due to charges developing around an electrode in contact with an electrolyte. Many publications state capacitance calculated from EIS spectra using the semi-circle region of the Nyquist diagram, while others refer to capacitance calculated from the low frequency region, but it is hardly clear what exactly they are referring to. Please help me to clear this confusion.
