Performance of the Dual-Chamber Microbial Fuel Cells with Sulfonated Poly(arylene ether sulfones) Membranes

Abstract:

A series of sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) (SPAES) membranes were prepared for microbial fuel cell (MFC) application. The performance of the MFCs equipped with SPAES membranes was researched in details. The results showed that the output power density of the MFCs with different SPAES membranes increased with the increase of the IEC at the first few days. The performances were close after long-term operation. The influence of inoculum amount, the load and the concentration of K3Fe(CN)6 on the MFC performance was also investigated.
