A membrane-free micro-fluidic microbial fuel cell (μMFC) has been developed in this work, in which the bacteria-mediated organic fuel oxidation process is physically separated from the proton exchange process that occurs between the laminar co-flows of anolyte and catholyte streams on a micro-fluidi...
