Electrophoretic deposition of carbon nanotube on reticulated vitreous carbon for hexavalent chromium removal in a biocathode microbial fuel cell
For Cr(VI)-removal microbial fuel cell (MFC), a more efficient biocathode in MFCs is required to improve the Cr(VI) removal and electricity generation. RVC-CNT electrode was prepared through the electrophoretic deposition of carbon nanotube (CNT) on reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC). The power density of MFC with an RVC-CNT electrode increased to 132.1 ± 2.8 mW m-2, and 80.9% removal of Cr(VI) ...
متن کاملCarbon Material Optimized Biocathode for Improving Microbial Fuel Cell Performance
To improve the performance of microbial fuel cells (MFCs), the biocathode electrode material of double-chamber was optimized. Alongside the basic carbon fiber brush, three carbon materials namely graphite granules, activated carbon granules (ACG) and activated carbon powder, were added to the cathode-chambers to improve power generation. The result shows that the addition of carbon materials in...
متن کاملKinetic investigation of carbon nanotube deposition by DC electrophoretic technique
In this paper, kinetics of DC electrophoretic deposition EPD of carbon nanotubes CNTs is investigated. Carbon nanotubes suspended in pure ethanol with addition of magnesium nitrate was used as deposition media. The effect of main EPD parameters such as deposition time, applied voltage and the CNT concentration on deposit yield was investigated. The variation of current density vs. time and the ...
متن کاملEffect of set potential on hexavalent chromium reduction and electricity generation from biocathode microbial fuel cells.
Setting a biocathode potential at -300 mV improved the subsequent performance of an MFC for Cr(VI) reduction compared to a control (no set potential). With this set potential, the startup time was reduced to 19 days, the reduction of Cr(VI) was improved to 19.7 mg/L d, and the maximum power density was increased to 6.4 W/m(3) compared to the control (26 days, 14.0 mg/L d and 4.1 W/m(3)). Set po...
متن کاملCarbon nanotube-coated macroporous sponge for microbial fuel cell electrodes
The materials that are used to make electrodes and their internal structures significantly affect microbial fuel cell (MFC) performance. In this study, we describe a carbon nanotube (CNT)–sponge composite prepared by coating a sponge with CNTs. Compared to the CNT-coated textile electrodes evaluated in prior studies, CNT–sponge electrodes had lower internal resistance, greater stability, more t...
