Abstract
The cathode electrocatalyst Nano-Co@NC is synthesized from ZIF-67, exhibiting a high Co mass loading and enabling MFCs with a comparable initial power density to and better durability than that using Pt/C.
Key findings
- High Co mass loading enables comparable initial power density to Pt/C.
- Nano-Co@NC exhibits better durability than Pt/C in microbial fuel cells.
- Synthesis of Nano-Co@NC from ZIF-67 is a key factor in its electrocatalytic performance.
