在本次通讯中，我们报告了一种用于微生物燃料电池的无粘合剂氧还原阴极。无粘合剂阴极是通过吡啶的简单热解在不锈钢网（SSM）上生长氮掺杂碳纳米纤维（NCNF）而制备的。 NCNFs和SSM表面之间的相互作用力非常强，能够承受水冲洗。 NCNFs/SSM阴极对氧还原反应表现出高且稳定的电催化活性，可与Pt/SSM和铁氰化物阴极相媲美。这项研究提出了一种有前途的用于微生物燃料电池的低成本无粘合剂阴极。 (c) 2011 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
In this communication, we report a binder-free oxygen reduction cathode for microbial fuel cells. The binder-free cathode is prepared by growth of nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers (NCNFs) on stainless steel mesh (SSM) via simple pyrolysis of pyridine. The interaction force between NCNFs and SSM surface is very strong which is able to tolerate water flush. The NCNFs/SSM cathode shows high and stable electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction, which is comparable to that of Pt/SSM and ferricyanide cathode. This study proposes a promising low-cost binder-free cathode for microbial fuel cells. (c) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
