Biocompatible graphitic carbon nitride formed a composite material with carbon brush fiber, demonstrating outstanding performance as an anode in a yeast-based microbial fuel cell compared to plain carbon brush fiber.
A biocompatible graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was prepared on the surface of carbon brush fiber (CB) via a facile one-step preparation method. The prepared g-C3N4 formed a composite with the carbon brush's fibers (g-C3N4@CB), as shown from the XRD analysis. The g-C3N4@CB was used as an anode in a yeast-based microbial fuel cell (MFC), and demonstrated an outstanding performance compared to plain CB. An anode potential of similar to 0.27 V vs. Ag/AgCl and an open-circuit voltage of 0.77 V was obtained in the case of the composite electrode, compared to similar to 0.1 V vs. Ag/AgCl and 0.62 V, respectively, in the case of the CB. The cell using the composite electrode demonstrated a maximum power of 772mWm(-2), which is twelve times that obtained using the CB. The outstanding performance of the composite electrode can be credited to the biocompatibility of the composite anode and its roughness, which improved the yeast biofilm formation and decreased the ohmic resistance. This is the first report involving the application of g-C3N4 in a yeast-based MFC, and it demonstrated promising results which can be used for other types of MFCs. (c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
