A high-efficient photo-induced wastewater fuel cell (WFC) for neutral wastewater treatment was proposed in this paper based on radicals catalytic reaction of Fe3+/Fe2+- EDTA complexes in the system which has a lower redox potential than Fe3+/Fe2+ and can accelerate easily the conversion of slow catalytic step from Fe (Ill) to Fe (II). The results indicated that the WFC shows an excellent performance in a wide pH range of 5-9 and achieves optimal efficiency for organic degradation and electricity generation at pH 7.0. The removal ratio of organic pollutants (Rhodamine b, Phenol, and Methylene Blue) increased to 69.42%, 53.99% and 82.7% from 29.87%, 16.25% and 39% respectively after 3 h operation at an initial pH of 7.0. Meanwhile, the short-circuit current is up to 1.24-2.16 times that of the WFC without EDTA-ferrous complex. Furthermore, the system almost does not produce any sludge. The proposed WFC system can keep stable of Fe3+/Fe2+ in neutral solution and generate more intermediate active free radicals to treat neutral wastewater and recover the abundant chemical energy in organics.
