Treatment of carbon fiber brush anodes for improving power generation in air-cathode microbial fuel cells
(0) Three different treatment methods were examined for enhancing power generation of carbon fiber brushes. The combined heat and acid treatment (CF-AH) improved power production to 1370 mW/m~2,which was 34% larger than the untreated control (CF-C,1020 mW/m~2). This power density was 25% higher than using only acid treatment (1100 mW/m~2) and 7% higher than that using only heat treatment (1280 mW/m~2).XPS analysis of the treated and untreated anode materials indicated that power increases were related to the change of surface element content.
