Power Generation Performance

In this study, the effect of the mesopores of Marimo nano carbon (MNC) on power generation performance for anode material of direct glucose fuel cell was investigated. Three types of MNC with different mesopore distributions were used for the catalyst support material, Pt was used as loaded metal. In the glucose fuel cell performance test, MNC having many pores of about 35 nm showed the highest maximum output density of 0.72 mW cm-2 at 5 wt% metal loading and 0.3 M Glucose aqueous solution. The pores of about 30 nm may promote ion diffusion and rapid mass transport of reactants and products. These results indicated that MNC was an effective material as anode material for direct glucose fuel cell.

Environmentally Friendly Process

Palladium (Pd) is a cheap and effective electrocatalyst that is capable of replacing platinum (Pt) in various applications. However, the problem in using chemically synthesized Pd nanoparticles (PdNPs) is that they are mostly fabricated using toxic chemicals under severe conditions. In this study, we present a more environmentally-friendly process in fabricating biogenic Pd nanoparticles (Bio-PdNPs) using Citrobacter sp. isolated from wastewater sludge. Successful fabrication of Bio-PdNPs was achieved under anaerobic conditions at pH six and a temperature of 30 °C using sodium formate (HCOONa) as an electron donor. Citrobacter sp. showed biosorption capabilities with no enzymatic contribution to Pd(II) uptake during absence of HCOONa in both live and dead cells. Citrobacter sp. live cells also displayed high enzymatic contribution to the removal of Pd(II) by biological reduction. This was confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Electron Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) characterization, which revealed the presence Bio-PdNPs deposited on the bacterial cells. The bio-PdNPs successfully enhanced the anode performance of the Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC). The MFC with the highest Bio-PdNPs loading (4 mg Bio-PdNP/cm2) achieved a maximum power density of 539.3 mW/m3 (4.01 mW/m2) and peak voltage of 328.4 mV.
