I have been focusing on metal anode ability to produce power in MFC, But I have observed huge part of new research in MFC is mainly focusing on Cathode. Is the graphite fiber brush is the best anode for MFC at present? Are there no more possibilities to enhance oxidation process in MFC other than carbon?
Microbial fuel cell, power generation, wastewater treatment
Graphite brush anode is the best at this moment. In MFC, both anode and cathode are so important, but people think that cathode is a limiting factor in power generation. But, in some cases, anode is a limiting factor in power generation. Which electrode limits power production? It depends on system architecture.
The effective use of a MFC for power generation depends on at least 1 order-of-magnitude increase in power generation when compared to the current state-of-the-art. This component member is considered a significant bottleneck.
Good day to you. May I know what is the meaning of cathode or anode is the limiting factor in MFC? Can we monitor them through both electrode potentials? if the anode potential is similar in range, will it considered as a limiting factor? Or is the potential that varies is limiting factor?
if you looking for electrical power generation using microorganisms in MFC, of course in this case the accumulation of electrons is loaded in the anode chamber. Thus the electron travels through the external circuit to the cathode chamber. Therefore the anode is an important chamber as the biofilm is found there. Besides that O2 is found in the cathode just called an electron acceptor.
