Problems solved by technology

However, the cost of these catalysts is relatively high, and long-term use is likely to cause catalyst poisoning and other shortcomings. Using microorganisms as catalysts can avoid the shortage of precious metals, improve the economics of microbial electrolytic cells, and lay a foundation for the practical application of microbial electrolytic cells.

Embodiment 1

[0029] Example 1: Cultivation of anode electrogenic microbial populations in microbial fuel cell mode

[0030] The structure of the adopted microbial fuel cell (100) is as follows figure 1 shown in the schematic diagram. Specific steps:

[0031] Add the first solution (see below for ingredients) to the microbial fuel cell (100), the anode of the microbial fuel cell (100) uses carbon felt as the base material, and the cathode uses acetylene black carbon film and brushes 0.5mg-Pt / cm 2 The catalyst is connected to the external resistance R=1000Ω in the closed circuit system, batch operation, and the voltage at both ends of the external resistance R is continuously monitored;

[0032] When the output voltage (the voltage across the external resistance R) of the microbial fuel cell (100) drops continuously and falls below 100mV in each operating cycle, replace the solution in the microbial fuel cell (100) with a fresh first solution, The replacement of the solution is repeated f...

[0036] The structure of the electrolytic cell used is shown as figure 2 Shown as indicated. Specific steps:

[0037] B1) Transfer the bioanode started in step A to the microbial electrolysis cell (200) ( figure 2 ), as the bioanode of the electrolysis cell (200). The cathode of the microbial electrolytic cell (200) uses carbon cloth as the basic material, and the load is 0.5mg-Pt / cm 2 catalyst. After the first solution is added, a voltage of 0.6V is applied between the biological anode and the chemical cathode of the microbial electrolytic cell (200), and the batch operation is performed at room temperature, and the current intensity of the electrolytic cell (200) is continuously monitored. When in each batch cycle, the current density of the microbial electrolytic cell (200) drops from a stable plateau to 100-200A / m 3...

Embodiment 3

[0041] Example 3: Acclimatization and cultivation of cathode hydrogen-producing microorganisms in the three-electrode mode

[0042] The structure of the three-electrode mode half-cell adopted is as follows image 3 Shown as indicated. Specific steps:

[0043] C1) The bioanode in step B) is used as the cathode, and the acetylene black carbon film is used as the chemical anode to form a half-cell (300).

[0044] C2) Add the second solution (composition below) to the half-cell, keep the potential of the working electrode constant at -1.1V (relative to the saturated calomel electrode), pass hydrogen gas into one side of the chemical anode, and operate at room temperature. When the half-cell (300) current density drops below 80A / m in each cycle 3 , the solution in the half-cell (300) is replaced with a new second solution, and the solution replacement is repeated for several cycles until the half-cell (300) obtains a stable current. Such as Figure 6 As shown, when the biocath...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microbial electrochemistry, and relates to a hydrogen-producing microbial electrolytic cell and a biological cathode domestication method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development of the economy, people's demand for energy is increasing day by day, coal, oil, natural gas and other non-renewable energy can no longer meet people's growing needs, and the use of these non-renewable energy causes serious pollution to the environment. Therefore, vigorously developing renewable energy, taking the road of sustainable development, and satisfying the development of low-carbon economy are policies that must be followed. Hydrogen has become one of the most widely used energy carriers due to its clean, efficient, and renewable characteristics, and has attracted widespread attention at home and abroad. The current industrial hydrogen production methods are natural gas or tail gas separation hydrogen ...
