Abstract

The invention provides a method for modification of a microbial fuel cell anode with peptide nanotube embedded riboflavin. The main steps include: firstly pretreating a carbon based electrode material with acetone to remove surface organic matters, then coating the carbon based electrode surface with a polyethyleneimine electrolyte coating to load the electrode surface with positive charge, then adding a mixed solution of phenylalanine dipeptide and electron mediator riboflavin on the electrode surface dropwise, embedding riboflavin in the nanostructure in the process of phenylalanine dipeptide self-assembly to form peptide nanotubes, thus forming a three-dimensional structure composite electrode. The peptide nanotubes increase the electrode conductivity, and riboflavin strengthens extracellular electron transfer. Peptide nanotube embedded riboflavin has lasting sustained release effect, and the anode modified in the way reduces the internal resistance of a microbial fuel cell reactor and improves the electricity generation performance.

Description

[0001] Technical field [0002] The invention belongs to the field of microbial fuel cells, and in particular relates to the modification of the anode of microbial fuel cells by using self-assembled peptide nanotubes to embed riboflavin. Background technique [0003] Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) is a technology that uses microorganisms as catalysts to generate electricity by oxidatively degrading organic or inorganic substances. MFC has attracted widespread attention due to its simple operating conditions, wide range of available substrates, and the advantages of degrading pollutants and generating electricity at the same time. However, so far, the output power of microbial fuel cells is still low, and it is difficult to realize large-scale application, which limits the further development of microbial fuel cells. [0004] The anode of a microbial fuel cell is an important place for microbial attachment and growth, and the performance of the anode directly affects the efficien...
