Abstract:
Provided is a microbial fuel cell which is capable of stably generating electricity and in which a pump or the like for fuel supply is not necessary and low oxygen concentration is maintained in the vicinity of a fuel electrode. A microbial fuel cell ( 1 A) includes: a housing ( 2 ) that defines a closed space isolated from an external environment; and an ion-conductive layer ( 5 ) that divides the closed space into a fuel chamber ( 3 ) and an air chamber ( 4 ), the fuel chamber ( 3 ) being configured to have therein a microorganism-containing substance ( 10 ), the air chamber ( 4 ) containing oxygen therein. The housing ( 2 ) has, in at least part thereof, a hole ( 6 ) through which the external environment and the fuel chamber ( 3 ) are in communication with each other. The housing ( 2 ) is provided with an openable/closeable member ( 7 ) configured to be able to open and close the hole ( 6 ).

Claim (Index 16):
The microbial fuel cell according to  claim 1 , wherein the housing is made of a biodegradable material.
