Abstract
Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technologies are making headway
in developing and expanding renewable energy through
the conversion of organic matter to electricity. Various
substrates can be used in the MFCs technology to enable
energy generation, either pure substances or complex
mixtures of organic materials. This study aims to consider
the feasibility of raw honey as a fuel for mediator-less
double-chamber MFC. The cell voltage was monitored in
mediator-less double-chamber H2O2 cathode microbial fuel
cell. The Mfensi clay partition and the raw honey were
analyzed using FTIR-ATR. The results show the highest
open-circuit voltage of 1414 mV with a maximum current
density of 0.6540 A/m2 and a maximum power density of
247.0 W/m2. These results demonstrate that raw honey can
be used for power generation in MFCs and for practical
applications.
