Time series analysis and machine learning studies of biophotovoltaic systems
Background. Biophotovoltaics (BPVs) catalysed by photoautotrophs such as cyanobacteria have increasingly gained interest due to their potential to generate low-carbon electricity and chemicals from just sunlight, air and water. The full path of electrons from cyanobacteria photosynthetic and …

High-power acid Biophotovoltaic cells for the generation of green electricity
This thesis reports the development of acid-operating microbial fuel cells (MFCs) for the investigation of elevated electrical conductivity and resulting enhanced bioelectricity generation. This project describes the use of extremophile microorganisms as the biological material in MFCs, for the …

Optimizing electrogenic activity from photosynthetic bacteria in bioelectrochemical systems
… was used to characterize light-driven BESs, or biophotovoltaic (BPV) devices. The phycobilisome (PBS) antenna size was altered to modify light absorption. At low to medium light intensities the optimum PBS antenna size was found to consist of one phycocyanin (PC) disc. Incorporating pulsed …

Elucidating the bio-electrochemical mechanism of exoelectrogenesis of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803
… in a phenomenon called ‘exoelectrogenesis’. Biophotovoltaic systems (BPVs) are devices in which exoelectrogenesis of photosynthetic microorganisms can be harnessed to convert solar energy and water into electricity. It has been calculated that power outputs may be achievable from BPVs that …
