Development of a High-Performance Mediatorless Microbial Fuel Cell Comprising a Catalytic Steel Anode.

The present paper reports for the first time the construction of a sugar cane bagasse-mediated double-chambered microbial fuel cell (MFC), consisting of a novel bioanode of an iron/titanium Ni-P composite. This anode could facilitate uninterrupted extracellular electron transfer (EET) from bacteria (mixed culture). The Ni-P composite anode had a significant corrosion resistance and enhanced electrocatalytic activity.
