A benthic microbial fuel cell device (BMFC), namely an anode in contact with organic matter on the seafloor and a cathode in contact with overlying seawater, creates a closed path through which electric current can flow. In a conventional such device, it is used solely as a power source. However the application of a reverse voltage (for example, via solar power) results in storage of energy associated with the BMFC.
