Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microbial fuel cells, in particular to a high-efficiency microbial fuel cell integrated air cathode and a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a green technology that uses microorganisms to directly convert chemical energy in organic matter into electrical energy. In the anaerobic environment of the anode chamber, under the action of microorganisms, organic compounds are decomposed and electrons and protons are released. The electrons are transferred to the cathode through the external circuit to form an electric current. The protons pass through the proton exchange membrane to the cathode. Protons combine to form water. Cathode performance is considered to be a major limitation of MFCs. The cathode electrode is usually composed of a catalyst layer and an air diffusion layer, and sometimes a support layer is required. The preparation meth...
