Abstract

The invention discloses a microbial fuel cell and a method for enhancing discharge voltage of the microbial fuel cell by using biochar. The microbial fuel cell comprises an anode electrode, anode electrode liquid and a cathode electrode, wherein the anode electrode liquid is organic wastewater containing biochar which adsorbs organic matters. The method comprises the following steps: configuring the microbial fuel cell, starting and running the microbial fuel cell, and treating the organic wastewater by using the microbial fuel cell, wherein the anode electrode liquid of the microbial fuel cell is the organic wastewater containing the biochar which adsorbs the organic matters. The organic matters in the organic wastewater are enriched in the biochar, and mixed liquid of the biochar and the organic wastewater is prepared as the anode electrode liquid of the microbial fuel cell, so that the discharge voltage of the microbial fuel cell can be improved, the problem that in the wastewater treatment process utilizing the microbial fuel cell, popularization on a large scale is difficult, and the large-scale application of the microbial fuel cell is facilitated.
