Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for producing energy and to the use of said device for producing and/or storing energy.
Claims20
A double-layer biological battery for producing energy, comprising:
- a lower compartment having a first part configured as an anode, a second part configured as a cathode, and a wet substrate between said first part and said second part, wherein said wet substrate contains at least one electrogenic microorganism and at least one electron donor;
- an upper compartment having an opening configured to be in contact with an environment capable of supplying at least one electron donor, the upper compartment being configured to transfer a liquid to the lower compartment;
- a conductive means configured to deliver at least one electron acceptor to said cathode through a gap between the lower compartment and the upper compartment;
- and
- at least one filter with a pore size above 0.2 μm,
- wherein the at least one filter is configured to allow passage of microorganisms from the upper compartment to the lower compartment.
