Problems solved by technology

However, the existing MFC carbon-based anode materials are dominated by inhomogeneous microporous structures or nanoparticles. The former has a low specific surface area, and the latter is due to the non-porous surface structure for microbial growth, which cannot promote the anode biofilm well. Formation

Abstract

The invention discloses porous carbon with a uniform nano aperture as well as a preparation method thereof and application. The preparation method comprises the following steps of uniformly mixing ammonia water, ethanol and deionized water to obtain a mixed liquid, dropwise adding ethyl orthosilicate into the mixed liquid to be reacted and dried to obtain a nano spherical SiO2 template; adding the nano spherical SiO2 template into a sugarcane acid solution to be sintered for two times, grinding the solid, and calcining the solid in an inert gas environment for 2 hours to 4 hours; soaking the powder obtained in the calcining for 24 hours to 36 hours, washing the powder by utilizing deionized water to be neutral, and drying the powder to obtain the porous carbon with the uniform nano aperture. The preparation method is simple, the specific surface area of the porous carbon is large, the aperture is uniform, the porous carbon is applicable to the production of microorganisms, the rapid formation of a microorganism fuel cell anode biological membrane can be promoted, and the output power of a microorganism fuel cell can be greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of microbial fuel cells, and in particular relates to a porous carbon with a uniform nanometer pore size and a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a new environmental protection technology that applies biological resources to electrochemistry. With the increasing shortage of global resources and environmental pollution, the advantages of MFC are greatly reflected, that is, the use of waste to generate electricity. Wastewater treatment, bio-environmental remediation, and the use of electric energy in special fields such as deep sea and space are closely related to MFC. However, the extremely low output power of MFC has always been an important factor restricting its development. [0003] The electron transfer process of the MFC anode is an important step in energy conversion, which has an extremely important impact on the energy conversion efficiency ...
