摘要：
To increase the power generation of microbial fuel cells (MFCs), anode modification with carbon materials (activated carbon, carbon nanotubes, and carbon nanohorns) was investigated. Maximum power densities of a stainless-steel anode MFC with a non-modified electrode (SS-MFC), an activated carbon-modified electrode (AC-MFC), a carbon nanotube-modified electrode (CNT-MFC) and a carbon nanohorn-modified electrode (CNH-MFC) were 72, 244, 261 and 327 mW m(-2), respectively. The total polarization resistance measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were 3610 Omega for SS-MFC, 283 Omega for AC-MFC, 231 Omega for CNTs-MFC, and 136 Omega for CNHs-MFC, consistent with the anode resistances obtained by fitting the anode polarization curves. Single-wall carbon nanohorns are better than activated carbon and carbon nanotubes as a new anode modification material for improving anode performance.
