Effect of Temperature on Electricity Generation of Single-Chamber Microbial Fuel Cells with Proton Exchange Membrane

Abstract:

The effects of temperature on electricity performance and microbial activity were investigated in single-chamber microbial fuel cell with proton exchange membrane (S-PEM-MFC) using glucose as substrate with phosphate buffer solution(PBS). The results showed that S-PEM-MFC able to adapt to a wide temperature range of 11, 18, 25, 30 and 35°C. The open circuit voltage, polarization, power density and microbial activity of S-PEM-MFC were increased with increasing temperature from 11 to 30°C. The maximum power density were 193.8mW∙m-3 at 30°C. Compared to 30°C, the battery open circuit voltage increased by only 4.8% at 35°C, while the polarization and power density is almost the same. These results demonstrate that according to the principle of economy which 30°C should be the optimal operating temperature of S-PEM-MFC.
