Advanced Green Systems - Microbial Fuel Cells
Period (Room No.): IB-301
Prof. Chen-Hao WANG (Department of Materials Science and Engineering)

The scale of modern industrialization has given rise to environmental problems
of unprecedented complexity. Like toxic waste, wastewater disposal, heavy
metal pollution of contaminated land and water. The challenge for today’senvironmental problems requires innovation in improvements to manufacturing
processes and in the utilization of natural resources. The microbial fuel cell(MFC) is a renewable energy system, in which bacteria harvest energy frombio-degradable materials. In an MFC, organic matter is oxidized by
microorganisms in the anode, and electrons are subsequently transferred to thecathode via the external circuit. The MFC not only converts wastewater into
electrical energy but also degrades the chemical oxygen demand (COD) inwastewater. Therefore, the MFC provides a tremendous opportunity to achievesustainable wastewater treatment as it is possible.

Course Description
Fundamentals of the fuel cell. Electricity generating microorganisms. Electrontransfer mechanism microbial fuel cell (MFC). Parameters for evaluating MFC
performance. MFC reactor configuration. Potential applications of MFC.

Course Objectives
The student, upon completion of this course, should be able to:1.

Understand basic fundamentals of microbial fuel cell activity and explain
potential applications.

2.

Write a short research proposal based on the course contents.

Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Technology
Period (Room No.): IB-301
Prof. Yu-Lin KUO (Department of Mechnaical Engineering)

Course Description
In recent decades, the plasma systems operated at atmospheric pressure hasdeveloped dramatically due to the possible benefits of eliminating an expensive
vacuum system, on-line processing capabilities, high efficiency, and thescalability to a larger area. Nevertheless, atmospheric pressure plasma
systems are desirable in comparison to low pressure plasma systems: theatmospheric pressure plasma overcomes the drawbacks (cost, complexity) of
low pressure processing. So far, typical atmospheric pressure plasma systems
are divided into two parts. First one is arc plasma torches belonging toequilibrium thermal plasma, while corona discharges, dielectric barrierdischarges (DBD), and atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) are the type of
nonequilibrium thermal plasma. In particular, atmospheric pressure plasma jet
gained large acceptance, because they are easy to integrate into existingproduction lines and it can treat specific parts of substrates selectively. The
lecture is to address several industrial applications based on atmosphericpressure plasma technology to solve the adhesion (bonding) problem onheterojunction components.

Course Objectives
1.

Basic introduction of plasma technology and category of atmosphericpressure plasma system.

2.

Adhesion issue on bonding cases.

3.

Fundamentals of surface treatment technology.

4.

Understand the problems offered from the industrials and the total solution.
