Abstract

The invention provides an air-cathode biologic and microbial fuel cell. The microbial fuel cell comprises an anode chamber and a cathode chamber, wherein an anode and a cathode are arranged in the anode chamber and the cathode chamber respectively, the anode and the cathode are connected via a conductive wire, and the anode chamber and the cathode chamber are separated by a proton exchange membrane. The microbial fuel cell is characterized in that the anode is made from cylindrical active carbon particles, and the cathode is made from graphite felts containing manganese oxides and iron oxides. The power density of the air-cathode biologic and microbial fuel cell is further increased by adopting the biological cathode co-modified by iron and manganese by virtue of the promotion effect on the electrochemical reduction of iron ions for manganese ions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a microbial fuel cell, in particular to an air-cathode biological microbial fuel cell. Background technique [0002] A microbial fuel cell is an electrochemical device that uses the catalytic oxidation of microorganisms to convert chemical energy in fuel into electrical energy. Biocathode microbial fuel cells use aerobic microorganisms as catalysts to complete the catalytic reduction of oxygen. These microorganisms can be simply obtained from aerobic sludge with low cost, which greatly improves the practical applicability and sustainability of microbial fuel cells. sex. [0003] At present, the power density of microbial fuel cells with biocathode is mostly 20-50mW / m 2 , only a few can reach 270-320mW / m 2 , and non-biological cathode power density 300-2000mW / m 2 Still smaller in comparison. In order to improve the electricity production efficiency of biocathode microbial fuel cells, people began to explore transition metal...
