Abstract

The invention discloses a method for in-situ modification of a three-dimensional carbon microbial fuel cell by nanometer porous molybdenum carbide. According to the method, a carbon felt electrode is used as a substrate, phosphomolybdic acid is used as a molybdenum source, the porous-structured nanometer molybdenum carbide is uniformly grown on carbon felt fiber in an in-situ way by two steps of electrostatic self-assembly of a poly diallyldimethylammonium chloride medium and high-temperature carbonization under reduction atmosphere, and the method is simple in operation step and is controllable. The prepared three-dimensional composite electrode is applied to a positive electrode of the microbial fuel cell; and compared with a non-modified carbon felt electrode, the three-dimensional composite electrode has the advantages of larger electrochemical active area and better biological compatibility, and has unique electrocatalytic activation on oxidization-reduction reaction of an electron medium, the activation overpotential of the positive electrode is reduced, and the generation power density of the microbial fuel cell is remarkably improved.
