Abstract:
:A fast and convenient bacterial immobilization method was proposed as an attempt to improve the anode efficiency of a microbial fuel cell, in which bacteria were entrapped into carbon nanoparticle matrix. The direct electron transfer from the entrapped bacterial cells to the anode was verified using cyclic voltammogram (CV). Using the immobilized bioanode, the start-up time of the MFC was greatly reduced. Meanwhile, the maximum power density of 1,947 mW m⁻² with the modified anode was much higher than that with the biofilm-based carbon cloth anode (1,479 mW m⁻²). Impedance measurements suggested that performance improvement resulted from the decrease in charge transfer and diffusion resistances. The results demonstrated that bacteria immobilization using carbon nanoparticle matrix was a simple and efficient approach for improving the anodes performances in MFCs.
