Carbon nanotube/polyaniline composite as anode material for microbial fuel cells 

 -  Journal of Power Sources, 170(1), p.79-84, 2007 .
<br/><br/> A carbon nanotube (CNT)/polyaniline (PANI)composite is evaluated as an anode material for high-power microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)are employed to characterize the chemical composition and morphology of plain PANI and the CNT/PANI composite. The electrocatalytic behaviour of the composite anode is investigated by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)and discharge experiments. The current generation profile and constant current discharge curves of anodes made from plain PANI, 1 wt.
