Analysis of Resistance of Current Collector in Packing-Type Microbial Fuel Cell

Article Preview

Abstract:

To reduce the power loss during producing electricity and to improve the efficiency of electron transfer in microbial fuel cell (MFC), now current collector study provide a new direction lead to how to improve its performance. This study uses Titanium mesh (size in 0.45mm×20mesh) as Packing-Type MFC’s current collector, which contains 57.7% pure titanium. The mesh and wire diameter influence its transfer efficiency, that mesh number affects contact resistance while the wire diameter affects conduction resistance.
