Description

Application of sweet potato three-dimensional electrode in microbial fuel cell
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of microbial fuel cells; relates to an application of a sweet potato three-dimensional carbon electrode in a microbial fuel cell.
Background
Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are a technology that combines waste removal and power generation functions by directly converting waste chemicals into utilizable electric energy using microorganisms as catalysts. Among them, the anode is an important component of microbial fuel cells, and is the habitat of microbes, which directly affects the efficiency of Extracellular Electron Transfer (EET) of bacteria, thereby affecting the electrochemical performance of electrochemical systems. Therefore, an ideal anode material should have a large specific surface area and a porous structure, which can provide more sites for microbial loading, promote rapid diffusion of the media, facilitate substrate transport and waste removal, and prevent clogging. In addition, in order to improve electron transfer efficiency, various metal-based nanomaterials, carbon-based nanomaterials, and the like are used in the MFC, thereby accelerating the electron transfer rate and the EET of the bacteria/electrode interface, and finally, significantly improving the performance of the MFC. However, the complicated and strict preparation process of these carbon-based nanomaterials or metal-based nanomaterials or the high price thereof limits the practical application and popularization of microbial fuel cells. The exploration of cheap, easily available and efficient anode materials is an urgent need for the development of MFC in the future.
Compared with the currently used carbon-based nano materials, the biomass material with the porous structure can be extracted from natural resources, the acquisition cost is low, and the direct carbonization of the biomass material can provide a low-cost and sustainable method for preparing the electrode material. In recent years, loofah sponge, reed, absorbent cotton and other natural substances are made into carbon-based electrodes, biomass materials are gradually considered as promising resources for preparing low-cost three-dimensional carbon-based electrodes, however, at present, the natural materials do not have stable surface three-dimensional macroporous structures, the material strength is low, the electrochemical new energy is limited, and if the electrodes are made into the electrodes, the electrodes have certain limitations when being operated for a long time in sewage treatment of microbial fuel cells.
Sweet potato is one of common grains in daily life, and contains a large amount of starch and trace amounts of protein, grease, cellulose, pectin and other components; after carbonization, some hetero elements can be provided, and the introduction of hetero atoms can change the spin density of the graphite material, thereby influencing the biocompatibility, wettability, charge storage capacity and catalytic activity of the material, further influencing the affinity of the electrode surface for bacteria adhesion, and even influencing the activity of microorganisms, so that the hydrophilicity of the material can be improved. However, no research on the preparation of electrodes from sweet potatoes as biomass materials has been reported.
