Effect of Mesopores in the Marimo nanocarbon anode material on the power generation performance of direct glucose fuel cell

Abstract In this study, the effect of mesopores in Marimo nanocarbon (MNC) anode material on power generation performance a direct glucose fuel cell was investigated. Three types MNC with different mesopore distributions were used for catalyst support material; Pt as loaded metal. test, containing many pores approximately 35 nm showed highest maximum output density 0.72 mW cm−2 at 5 wt% metal loading and 0.3 M Glucose aqueous solution. The 30 may promote ion diffusion rapid mass transport reactants products. These results indicated that an effective cell.
