The microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a notable device capable of utilizing microbes on the anode to break down organic matter in wastewater, resulting in power generation. An ideal anode electrode for MFCs should possess qualities like high surface area, conductivity, biocompatibility, chemical stability, and a 3D macroporous structure. In my research plan, I propose to utilize plant flower hollow fibers as electrodes for MFCs due to their advantageous properties, such as thinner thickness (0.8-1.8 µm), smaller radius (8-10 µm), and greater length (20-25 mm) compared to kapok fibers. These fibers will be carbonized and employed as anodes in MFCs to generate electricity, introducing novel natural fibers for electron transfer and power generation from wastewater.
