Abstract
Entangled stainless steel single wire was used as a promising 3D anode for Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs). Two complementary techniques were coupled to precisely characterize the anode structure and activity: X-Ray Computed Tomography (XRCT) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). XRCT provides an acurate estimation of the pore distribution and size while EIS allows to check and monitor the electrochemical activity. Electrochemical measurements were performed with activated sludges and synthetic medium at an imposed potential of −0.2 V vs Ag/AgCl in a single chamber MFC. Modified Transmission Line Model was used to follow the evolution of the anode in both media including the formation and the growth on the biofilm.
