Advanced Microbial Fuel Cell Development, Miniaturization and Energy and Power Density Enhancement

Abstract

This report covers investigations of advanced microbial H2/O2-fuel cell development, miniaturization, and energy and power density enhancement. The anode is very important in the performance of a microbial fuel cell "MFC", and is often the limiting factor for a high power output. In present work, we used the CNT/PANI composite as the anode materials of MFCs for the first time and investigated the electrocatalytic properties of the composite associated with the bacterium biocatalyst. A method was developed to fabricate a nanostructured CNT/PANI composite anode for MFCs.
