The microbial fuel cell (MFC), as one of the most promising biotechnologies, has the capability to harvest electricity by electrochemically degrading organic matter in wastewater. In this study, we report a simple calcination carbonization process to prepare a set of carbon materials by using almond shells as a new type of biomass precursor. The as-prepared carbon is characterized as having a favorable structure and properties required for anode materials of a MFC with decent electrical conductivity. The MFC using the porous carbon obtained at 800 degrees C (PC-800) as the anode can generate a maximum power density of 4346 mW m(-2), much higher than that of MFCs with carbon counterparts and commercial carbon cloth (CC) as the MFC anode.
