我院陈水亮老师及其团队在微生物燃料电池(microbial fuel cell, MFC)的研究方面取得重要进展;他指导的研究生刘琴的相关论文《Phosphorus-doped carbon derived from cellulose phosphate as efficient catalyst for air-cathode in microbial fuel cells》和《Cellulose-derived nitrogen and phosphorus dual-doped carbon as high performance oxygen reduction catalyst in microbial fuel cell》连续发表在SciencDirect期刊Journal Power Sources (SCI一区,影响因子5.2) (Journal of Power Sources, 2014, 261, 245-248. 和Journal of Power Sources, 2015, 273, 1189–1193)
电极材料的成本和性能是制约微生物燃料电池应用的主要因素之一。论文的研究者采用低成本和资源丰富的天然纤维素为原料,开发了一系列低成本、高性能氧气还原催化剂,取代传统的Pt/C贵金属催化剂,极大提高的微生物燃料电池的产电性能。该研究可进一步推动微生物燃料电池在污水处理中的应用。(陈水亮)Cellulose-derived nitrogen and phosphorus dual-doped carbon as.pdf
