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.

Key findings

  • The use of Titanium mesh as a current collector in Packing-Type MFC improves electron transfer efficiency.
  • Mesh number affects contact resistance, while wire diameter affects conduction resistance.
  • The study provides a new direction for improving current collector performance in MFCs.
