Bioelectricity generation from tree microbial fuel cell

这项研究在日经指数中得到了强调。我的采访发表在报纸上，重点介绍了PMFC。我的采访也在FM Kirara电台播出。本研究以大树型微生物燃料电池为研究对象，进行生物发电的研究。在这项研究中有两个大的挑战：1。如何将植物微生物燃料电池放置在长大的树上？由于大树的根系已经长大，不可能将阳极设置在树木的根系下。如何增加一棵大树的电压和功率的产生量？在去年的研究中，我们使用了两种不同类型的大树，名为黑金和Mukonoki进行研究。它之所以选择黑金是因为黑金是一种常绿绿色树，而Mukonoki是落叶树。这种常绿植物一年四季都能发电。然而，落叶树木在冬季或秋季由于落叶和颜色的变化而产生的电能较少。对于第一个挑战，我们在树木周围设置了生物电池。将生物电池与串联连接。细菌的食物将通过根挤出物的帮助来接收。结果表明，大树可以产生生物电。一棵黑金树的最大电压产生量为100000mV。然而，可以看出，对于Mukonoki，从秋天和冬天开始，当树木的颜色开始变化和倒下时，电压产生略有下降。

This research has been highlighted in the Nikkei. My interview has been published in the newspaper highlighting the PMFC. My interview has also telecast in the FM Kirara radio. Bioelectricity generation from big tree microbial fuel cell has been studied for this current research. There was 2 big Challenges during this research:1. How to place/set up the plant microbial fuel cell in a grown up tree? As the root systems of a big tree has already grown up, it is impossible to set the anode under the root system of a tree.2. How to increase the amount of generation of voltage and power from a big tree?The last year's research, we used two different types of big tree named Kurogane and Mukonoki for the research. It has chosen because the Kurogane is an ever green tree and Mukonoki is deciduous tree. The evergreen plant can generate more electricity throughout the year. However, the deciduous trees can generate less electricity due to its fallen leaves and change of color during the winter or the autumn time.For the first challenge, we set up bio-battery surrounding the tree. The biobattery were connected with the series connection. The food for the bacteria will be received by the help of the root extrudates. It was found that the bioelectricity can be generated from the big tree. The amount of the maximum voltage generation is 100000mV from one tree of Kurogane. However, it was seen that the for the Mukonoki, the voltage generation slightly dropped from the autumn and from the winter when the color of the trees started to change and the fallen down.
