The invention belongs to the technical field of biological
fuel cells, and discloses a
phycomycetes microbial fuel cell and a preparation method and application of the
phycomycetes microbial fuel cell. The
phycomycetes microbial fuel cell comprises an
anode chamber, a
cathode chamber, a transverse diaphragm, an
anode, a
cathode and an outer circuit, wherein phycomycetes, a culture solution and a
carbon source are respectively installed in the
anode chamber and the
cathode chamber. In the operation process of the phycomycetes microbial fuel
cell, operation is conducted by repeatedly converting the electrodes; in the whole operation process, with the help of synergistic effects of the phycomycetes, the effect that azo dye pollutants are degraded efficiently is achieved; the electrodes are alternately used for degrading the azo dye pollutants, therefore, the physiologically toxic effect on current-producing
bacteria by the azo dye pollutants is eliminated, and continuous efficient
current generation is realized; the phycomycetes is adopted as a biocatalyst for both the anode and the cathode, no
metal catalyst is used for modification, no exogenous artificial
mediator is added,
aeration is not needed, therefore, the construction and operation cost of the microbial fuel
cell is lowered, the
sustainability of the microbial fuel
cell is enhanced, and industrial amplified production of the microbial fuel cell can be conducted beneficially.
