微生物燃料电池构型研究进展

Research Progress in Configuration of Microbial Fuel Cells

微生物燃料电池(MFC)是利用微生物氧化分解有机物产生电能的一种装置。反应器构型是影响MFC产电性能的关键因素之一。针对近年来MFC反应器构型的最新研究进展进行评述,并分别从双室MFC、单室MFC和MFC电池组三方面介绍了不同构型对产电性能的提升效果,提出了当前主流MFC构型设计的构建思路。指出了增加传质效率、提升产电菌的可附着面积、降低电池内阻等是构型改进的重点思路,并总结了具体方法,为高性能MFC反应器构型的构建提供参考。

Microbial fuel cell（MFC） is a device that uses bacteria to convert the chemical energy of dissolved organic matters directly into electrical energy. Reactor configuration is one of the key factors affecting the performance of MFC. In this paper, the latest research progress of MFC reactor configuration in recent years was reviewed, and the effect of different configurations on power generation performance was analyzed from three aspects： double-chamber MFC, single-chamber MFC and MFC battery pack. The construction idea of current main MFC configuration design was put forward. It＇s pointed out that increasing mass transfer efficiency, enlarging the adhesion area of electricity-producing bacteria and reducing battery internal resistance were the key ideas of configuration improvement.
