Microbial Fuel Cells—Challenges and Applications
Open accessAbstract
he late Nobel laureate Richard Smalley often said that "energy is the single greatest challenge facing humanity."Energy needs in the U.S. and the world continue to increase, driving demand at an unsustainable pace.Possible options are carbon-based alternatives to oil, such as methane hydrates and the conversion of coal into methane gas, and the use of less readily available oil reservoirs and oil shale.But do we really want to use these fuels?Climate change is being driven by the atmospheric release of greenhouse gases like CO 2 (1), and an impending global energy crisis is coming at a time when we can least afford to release additional stored carbon.Nuclear power offers a carbon-free approach to energy generation, but no good solutions for nuclear waste exist.Perhaps Smalley should have said that energy is the single greatest environmental challenge facing humanity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
