Uniform Distribution of Pd on GO-C Catalysts for Enhancing the Performance of Air Cathode Microbial Fuel Cell

Metal, as a high-performance electrode catalyst, is research hotspot in the construction of microbial fuel cell (MFC). However, metal catalyst nanoparticles and their dispersed carriers are prone to aggregation, producing catalytic electrodes with inferior qualities. In this study, Pd uniformly on graphene framework supported by carbon black form nanocomposite catalysts (Pd/GO-C catalysts). The effect palladium loading amount performance air cathode was further studied. optimized afforded reduced resistance improved accessibility particles for ORR. maximum current output 0.250 (mg/cm2) MFC 1645 mA/m2, which 4.2-fold higher than that paper cathode. Overall, our findings provide novel protocol preparation high-efficient ORR MFCs.
