Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of environmental water pollution treatment and energy recovery, and more specifically relates to a microbial fuel cell with an anode loaded with a photocatalytic material and a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) use microorganisms in nature as catalysts to generate electricity while degrading various organic pollutants through the metabolic process of microorganisms. It is a new type of wastewater treatment and clean energy technology. However, anode microorganisms in microbial fuel cells prefer to use easily degradable small molecules as electron donors, and have limited ability to treat toxic and refractory organic pollutants. [0003] Because photocatalytic technology can use light energy to generate hydroxyl radicals and superoxide negative ions with strong oxidative properties, it can achieve catalytic oxidation and degradation of most o...
