The microbial fuel cell (MFC) is currently considered to be a very popular and promising bio-source, producing electrochemical power for directly recovering electrical energy from organics in wastewater. In order to achieve a better performance of MFCs, the anode material should have a larger surface area with relatively fewer activation losses. In this study, we investigated the performance of MFC equipped with carbon nanotubes/polyacrylonitrile (CNT/PAN) composite fiber anode. The addition of CNT to PAN increase the active sites of the electrode and enhances the charge transfer capability so as to cause considerable improvement of the electrochemical activity for the anode reaction in a MFC. |
