A lab-scale microbial fuel cell (MFC) with a reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) anode and a non-catalyzed multi-layered carbon air-cathode was electrochemically characterized under various physicochemical factors: temperature (15–25 °C), phosphate buffer concentration (4–8 mM), acetate concentration (7.1–14.3 mM), and equivalent solution conductivity (2.5–5 mS cm−1).

For Cr(VI)-removal microbial fuel cell (MFC), a more efficient biocathode in MFCs is required to improve the Cr(VI) removal and electricity generation. RVC-CNT electrode was prepared through the electrophoretic deposition of carbon nanotube (CNT) on reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC). The power density of MFC with an RVC-CNT electrode increased to 132.1 ± 2.8 mW m −2 , and 80.9% removal of Cr(VI) was achieved within 48 h; compared to only 44.5% removal of Cr(VI) in unmodified RVC. Cyclic voltammetry, energy-dispersive spectrometry and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry showed that the RVC-CNT electrode enhanced the electrical conductivity and the electron transfer rate; and provided more reaction sites for Cr(VI) reduction. This approach provides process simplicity and a thickness control method for fabricating three-dimensional biocathodes to improve the performance of MFCs for Cr(VI) removal.
