Abstract—Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are promising clean
energy sources for simultaneous recycling of organic waste
while harvesting electricity. As for the different effects of
electrode materials on the power performance of MFCs, a new
material of electrode, carbon nanotube/polyaniline carbon
paper (CNT/PANI carbon paper) was utilized and compared
with other traditional carbon paper/cloth in this study. Results
show that a lower ohmic loss and a better power performance
were executed by using CNT/PANI carbon paper. These
findings further exhibit its feasibility to improvement of power
performance in MFCs.
Index Terms—Electrode, microbial fuel cells, carbon
