Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microbial fuel cells, and relates to a three-dimensional porous microbial fuel cell anode material of iron carbide coated with biomass-based activated carbon, an anode and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) is a new type of simultaneous wastewater treatment and energy recovery technology that uses microorganisms to convert the chemical energy contained in wastewater into electrical energy. It is a sustainable green energy technology with broad application prospects. However, the low power generation efficiency and high production cost of MFC limit its large-scale application. In MFCs, electrogenic microorganisms generate electrons by metabolically degrading organic substrates, and electrons are transferred from the cell surface of microorganisms to the anode surface. Due to the slow transfer of extracellular electrons between electrogenic microorganisms a...
