Abstract

The invention relates to a graphite-polytetrafluoroethylene three-dimensional particle cathode of an MFC (microbial fuel cell) synthesized on basis of hydrogen peroxide and a preparation method. The preparation method comprises the steps of soaking and ultrasonically washing graphite powder, drying the washed graphite powder in a drying box, and then dispersing the dried graphite powder in ethanol; gradually dropwise adding 60(wt)% polytetrafluoroethylene into a graphite ethanol dispersion system under the water-bath heating condition at the temperature of 60 to 80 DEG C, and stirring until the graphite powder forms resilient dough-shaped substances; preparing graphite-polytetrafluoroethylene particles with granularity being 2 to 3mm through an extrusion-rolling method; filling a two-chamber MFC with the dried graphite-polytetrafluoroethylene particles which are used as a three-dimensional electrode, and inserting a graphite rod into a cathode chamber to collect electrons; utilizing a carbon felt as an anode; and establishing a H2O2 three-dimensional air cathode microbial fuel cell. The three-dimensional particle air cathode is large in electrode area and high in mass transfer efficiency. By adopting the graphite-polytetrafluoroethylene three-dimensional particle cathode, the generation of H2O2 is facilitated, and the yield of H2O2 is remarkably increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for making air cathodes of microbial fuel cells, in particular to a graphite-polytetrafluoroethylene three-dimensional particle cathode based on MFC synthesized by hydrogen peroxide and a preparation method thereof Background technique [0002] Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a new wastewater treatment technology that uses the metabolism of electrogenic microorganisms to remove organic pollutants in wastewater while outputting clean electricity. It is usually composed of cathode, anode, electrolyte and external circuit. The principle is that heterotrophic electrogenic bacteria attached to the surface of the anode can directly transfer electrons to the outside of the cell, and through the metabolism of microorganisms, pollutants can be degraded or transform. During the degradation process, electrons and protons are generated at the same time. The electrons are transferred to the cathode through the external circuit throug...
