Inkjet-printed porous polyaniline gel as an efficient anode for microbial fuel cells
Future application of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) requires a highthroughput and more convenient pathway to manufacture highperformance anodes. In this research, inkjet-printed PANI gel on carbon paper was first fabricated and then successfully employed as anodes in MFCs. Thanks to the inkjet-pri...

| description | Future application of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) requires a highthroughput
and more convenient pathway to manufacture highperformance
anodes. In this research, inkjet-printed PANI gel on
carbon paper was first fabricated and then successfully employed as
anodes in MFCs. Thanks to the inkjet-printing technology, such
anodes can be easily produced in large quantities. Moreover, these
anodes possessed good conductivity and a porous structure, aswell as
the ability to electrostatically interact with bacteria cells, which
contributed to a 6.1-fold increase in the output power over that of the
unmodified carbon paper. Taken together, our study presents a novel
strategy in preparing highly scalable, high-performance MFC anodes,
in promoting the practical application of MFC technology. |
