Abstract

In this study, the effect of the mesopores of Marimo nano carbon (MNC) on power generation performance for anode material of direct glucose fuel cell was investigated. Three types of MNC with different mesopore distributions were used for the catalyst support material, Pt was used as loaded metal. In the glucose fuel cell performance test, MNC having many pores of about 35 nm showed the highest maximum output density of 0.72 mW cm⁻² at 5 wt% metal loading and 0.3 M Glucose aqueous solution. The pores of about 30 nm may promote ion diffusion and rapid mass transport of reactants and products. These results indicated that MNC was an effective material as anode material for direct glucose fuel cell.

Key findings

  • MNC with 35 nm pores shows highest maximum output density of 0.72 mW cm⁻²
  • Pores of 30 nm promote ion diffusion and rapid mass transport
  • MNC is an effective material as anode material for direct glucose fuel cell
