Abstract
- In the long-term electricity generation and driving sensor work process of marine sediment microbial fuel cells(MSMFCs), its cathode in the seawater may be embedded into the marine sediment, which will affect the electrochemical performance and lead to MSMFCs failure. The article simulated the embedding ratio of cathodes in sediment in the laboratory: 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, in order to investigate the changes of the electrochemical performance of the cathode and the electricity generation performance of MSMFCs. The results show that: the open circuit potential dropped and the required longer steady time with the higher embedding ratio of the cathode. Its capacitance decreased gradually, and the minimum capacitance was 32 F/cm2 (2/3 group), which was 0.72 times of the Blank. The kinetic activity decreased firstly and then increased, and its maximum activity was 1.61 times of the Blank (2/3 group); The maximum power density of the MSMFCs was 140.83 mW/m2 (1/3 group), which was 1.21 times of the Blank. With the increase of embedding ratio of the cathode in the marine sediment, its electrochemical performance and electricity generation performance of MSMFCs both fluctuates, but the normal operation of MSMFCs can still be ensured.
