Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a reactor, in particular to a microbial fuel reactor. Background technique [0002] As the world's population continues to increase, human beings are increasingly affected by insufficient energy resources and environmental degradation. Therefore, the development of new energy sources has been widely valued, and the use of renewable biomass energy for power generation is an effective means. Microbial fuel cells (MFC), as a new method of using microbial metabolism to generate electricity, has attracted more and more attention in recent years. It is a device that uses microorganisms as catalysts to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Microorganisms can metabolize organic substances and generate electrical energy at the same time. However, the existing microbial fuel cells generally have the disadvantage of low electricity production; at the same time, the surface area of ​​the anode in the prior art is generally small...
