Modification by Nanoparticles of the Metals of Carbon Material for Microbial Fuel Cells

Abstract

Electron-microscopic study of the state (size distribution and the elemental composition) of nanoparticles based on Fe and Fe–Co on the surface of the carbon fiber (CF) deposited from colloidal solution by the chemical deposition and direct dispersion in plasma. The work of the carbon fiber modified by nanoparticles of metals of carbon fibers as anodes in the laboratory two-chamber microbial–anodic cell of the fuel element based on the bacterium Desulfuromonas acetoxidans was studied. The expediency of the practical use in anodes of microbial fuel cells of nanoparticles Fe was proved.
