Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing a microbial fuel cell cathode catalyst, and belongs to the technical field of fuel cell electrochemistry. The method comprises a step of immersing a biomass raw material in distilled water until the biomass raw material becomes neutral, then placing the biomass raw material into H3PO4 aqueous solution, placing the material on a shaker at room temperature to be continuously rotated, and freezing an obtained sample into a -48 DEG C freeze dryer for drying, a step of carbonizing the freeze-dried sample in an inert atmosphere for 1 hour and allowing the sample to cool to room temperature to obtain a biochar material, a step of grinding the biochar material to powder, mixing the powder with a polymer, and diluting with isopropanol, and a step of cleaning a diluted mixture in an ultrasonic cleaner to obtain a rubbery paste which is the microbial fuel cell cathode catalyst which is based on biomass and is doped with phosphorus and copper. The method is low in cost and mild in reaction conditions. The biochar obtained after carbonization has an excellent pore structure and a nanometer-scale pore size.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cell electrochemistry, in particular to a method for preparing a microbial fuel cell cathode catalyst. Background technique [0002] Given the ever-increasing demand for energy and various emerging environmental concerns, sustainable energy systems are increasingly being considered. As an emerging biochemical system, microbial fuel cells can use microbial metabolism to convert chemical energy in organic / inorganic waste into electrical energy, achieving simultaneous electricity generation and wastewater treatment. Due to its low cost, environmental friendliness and high resource recovery, microbial fuel cell technology is becoming more and more popular. [0003] Some current studies have shown that the oxygen reduction reaction rate at the cathode of microbial fuel cells is lower than that at the anode, and catalysts need to be added at the cathode to promote the reaction. At present, platinum-based...
