微生物燃料电池阴极系统的研究进展

Research Progress of Cathode System in Microbial Fuel Cells

微生物燃料电池,简称MFCs,其阴极系统通常由电极材料、催化剂、电子受体和阴极室等组成。MFCs阴极是电子受体进行还原反应的场所,是影响MFCs性能的重要因素,决定了反应器的经济性和持久性。文章根据MFCs阴极系统的构造,综述了阴极的材料、催化剂、电子受体以及构型在国内外的最新研究进展,指出了当前MFCs阴极设计存在的问题和今后MFCs研究努力的方向。

Microbial fuel cells,short for MFCs,whose cathode is usually constructed by the electrode materials,electron acceptor and cathode chambers.The cathode is an important factor that affects the performance of MFCs and decides the economy and durability of the MFCs for it is a place for reduction reaction of electron acceptor.The paper described the latest progress in the materials,catalysts,electronic receptors and structures of the MFCs cathode at home and abroad,and then it pointed out the problems in MFCs cathode design and the direction of the MFCs researched in the future.
