Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of fuel cells, and specifically relates to a self-breathing photo-assisted biomass fuel cell and its application. In the self-breathing photo-assisted biomass fuel cell, light energy and biomass energy are converted into electrical energy and released. Background technique [0002] Energy and environmental issues are two major issues facing the survival and sustainable development of human society. At present, the main energy systems in the world are mainly based on C-containing fossil fuels such as petroleum and coal. Energy conversion is mainly realized through the heat engine process. Due to the limitation of the Carnot cycle, not only the conversion efficiency is low, but also serious energy waste. And produce a lot of dust, CO 2 The pollution of the atmosphere, water and soil caused by harmful substances such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and noise, seriously threatens the living environment of mankind, and the d...
