The work appears in the journal ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. “For the first time, we use the metabolism of two different types of fungi in a microbial fuel cell to power a low temperature ...

It is 3D printed to structure the electrodes in a specific way that gives the microorganisms easy access to the nutrients. Fungal cells are mixed into the printing ink - no mean feat for the cross ...

The fungi are not "planted" into the battery but are an integral part of the cell from the outset. The components of the fungal battery are manufactured using 3D printing. This allows the researchers ...

This allows the researchers to structure the electrodes in such a way that the microorganisms can access the nutrients as easily as possible. To do this, the fungal cells are mixed into the ...
