no current is owing, for example, the maximum MFC voltage achieved thus
far is ~0.80 V [61]. This difference between the measured cell voltage and
the cell E

is caused by various voltage losses as illustrated in Figure 2.7a.
These losses can be expressed as the sum of the anode overpotential, the
cathode overpotential and the ohmic loss of the system.
