Evaluation of Sedum as driver for plant microbial fuel cells in a semi-arid green roof ecosystem
TL;DR: Although the current magnitudes observed in this study were lower than those reported for flooded PMFCs, a positive relationship between water content of plant growth media and power outputs was observed and encourages further testing of PMCFs as potential indicators of soil water content in semiarid green roofs where a better water-use efficiency is needed.

Constructed Wetland-Microbial Fuel Cells for Sustainable Greywater Treatment
TL;DR: In this article, constructed wetland microbial fuel cells (CW-MFCs) planted with Phragmites australis were tested to evaluate the potential of combining these two systems for synthetic greywater treatment and energy recovery.

The effect of scan rate on the precision of determining corrosion current by Tafel extrapolation: A numerical study on the example of pure Cu in chloride containing medium
TL;DR: In this article, a 1D mathematical model of copper under oxygen reduction in a chloride containing medium was explored to quantify the effects of scan rate, starting overpotential, and scan direction on the features of polarization curve.

A New Method for Sensing Soil Water Content in Green Roofs Using Plant Microbial Fuel Cells.
TL;DR: In this study, bench and pilot-scale experiments using seven Sedum species showed a positive relationship between current generation and water content in the substrate, and PMFC reactors with higher water content showed larger power density.
