Construction of a new type of three-dimensional honeycomb-structure anode in microbial electrochemical systems for energy harvesting and pollutant removal

Jiannan Li et al.

Summary: In this study, polymer-based three-dimensional (3D) honeycomb-structure (HS) materials were used as supporting materials, and graphene (GR), carbon nanotube (CNT), and polypyrrole (PPy) were chosen as surface conductivity coating layers for preparing modified microbial electrochemical system (MES) anodes. The CNT-HS anode system showed better performance in terms of power density, stability, and pollutant degradation compared to traditional carbon-based materials. It also exhibited a cost advantage over currently used MES anodes.
