微生物燃料电池（MFC）的未来应用需要一个高通量和更方便的途径来制造高性能的阳极。在本研究中，喷墨打印聚苯胺凝胶碳纸上首先制造，然后成功地作为阳极的MFC。由于喷墨印刷技术，这种阳极可以很容易地大量生产。此外，这些阳极具有良好的导电性和多孔结构，以及与细菌细胞静电相互作用的能力，这使得输出功率比未改性的碳纸增加了6.1倍。综上所述，本研究为制备规模化程度高、性能好的MFC阳极提供了一种新的策略，促进了MFC技术的实际应用。
Future application of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) requires a high-throughput and more convenient pathway to manufacture high-performance anodes. In this research, inkjet-printed PANI gel on carbon paper was first fabricated and then successfully employed as anodes in MFCs. Thanks to the inkjet-printing technology, such anodes can be easily produced in large quantities. Moreover, these anodes possessed good conductivity and a porous structure, as well as the ability to electrostatically interact with bacteria cells, which contributed to a 6.1-fold increase in the output power over that of the unmodified carbon paper. Taken together, our study presents a novel strategy in preparing highly scalable, high-performance MFC anodes, in promoting the practical application of MFC technology.
