Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are a hybrid bio-electrochemical system, which converts bio-convertible substrate directly into electricity by the oxidation of organic matter in the presence of bacteria under ambient temperature/pressure condition.The performance ofcarbon nanotube (CNT)/polyarcylonitrile (PAN) composite modified carbon paper electrodes in two-chambered MFC was investigated. The electricity generation and electrochemical characteristics of three anode materials (0, 1, 5 wt% CNT/PAN composite) were examined in batch mode MFC. The addition of CNT to PAN increase the active sites of the electrode and enhances the charge transfer capability so as to cause considerable improvement of the electrochemical activity for the anode reaction in a MFC. |
