12.4.1 Key Membraneless Microfluidic MFC (M−MMFC) and Their Comparison

Even though M−MMFCs have been first reported in 1990 (Dyer 1990) for conventional fuel cells, they were first realized in microfluidic environment in 2004 (Choban et al. 2004; Liu and Logan 2004) only. Choban et al. (2004) proposed a soft-lithographically fabricated microfluidic device with Y-shaped microchannel integrated with electrodes attached by sputtering and electrodeposition. The working principle and device are shown in Fig. 12.5, with which the current densities up to 8 mA cm−2 and power density of up to 2.5 mW cm−2 were achieved.
