A novel type esterified cellulose nanofiber (ECNF) gas diffusion layer (GDL) was prepared from corncob cellulose and fabricated for air-cathode (AC) of microbial fuel cell (MFC). Remarkably, the E-CNF based AC (AC(E-CNF)) achieved higher current density and lower resistance than PTFE based AC (AC(PTFE)). Moreover, the output voltage and maximum output power density were 7.5% and 30.1% higher than those of AC(PTFE). E-CNF based GDLs could be a new category of MFC cathode material.
