Since the oxidation half-cell of an MFC consists of the biodegradable electrolyte and anode, the selection of the right anode materials is essential to optimize the performance of MFCs. Anode acts as the governing support for the growth of biofilm to transfer the electrons. In general, anode materials must have a reasonable surface area for bacterial growth, good conduction, excellent biocompatibility, chemical stability, high mechanical strength, and low cost. In this work, graphite bar, aluminum foil, and carbon cloth were tested as an anode. The comparative performances of them were analyzed in a double chambered MFC containing industrial wastewater with respect to the power density and waste removal efficiency of MFCs. The carbon cloth anode provided better output than graphite bar and aluminum foil. The 10 days o...

The effect of these stipulated independent variables as source of microbial colony, material of construction of electrodes and salt bridges, presence and absence of aeration was evaluated in the cell to have the best efficacy. The efficiency of the fuel cell was studied on the basis of the electricity generated via treatment of waste water and manure used as biowaste. The experiments showed that electrode of more conductive material provided more efficiency. Aluminium foil and carbon cathode were used to be compared which gives 25.1 . Experiments reflected that microorganisms in a solid or semi solid source were less mobile than in the liquid source as in manure with respect to waste water and so the latter showed more efficiency than manure by giving maximum 185.8 the aeration process ...
