Abstract

Copyright © 2013 Delta Energy and Environment. Activated Carbon (AC) have been used as cheap alternative cathode for microbial fuel cell (MFC) applications. Different parameters (applied pressure and temperature treatment) have been changed and the cathode performances have been studied in half electrochemical cell and in single chamber MFC. The best cathode polarization was achieved at 2 mT applied pressure and temperature treatment of 200°C. The cathodes were also tested in microbial fuel cell (MFC) fed with phosphate buffer and sodium acetate.
