dc.description.abstract | Properties such as electrical conductivity, low resistivity, chemicals and corrosion resistance are mostly found in carbon based materials. Epoxy resin is excellent for electrical insulation and can be used as a conductor with the addition of conductive filler. Combinations of carbon and epoxy show qualities of a conductive electrode, mechanically strong with design flexibility and thus makes them suitable as electrodes in microbial fuel cell (MFC). In this study, graphite-epoxy composites were fabricated with multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) embedded in the matrix surface. 9,10 Anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonic acid disodium salt/polypyrrole (PPy/AQDS) was used as mediator, covalently electrografted on electrode’s surface. Electrochemical stability of anodes during continuous operation were measured in air-cathode MFCs. It appears that maximum power in MFC could be increased up to 42% with surface modification using PPy/AQDS. Internal resistance (R int ) could be reduced up to 66% with the inclusion of MWCNT. These findings show that a one-day fabrication of a-ready-to-use conductive electrode is possible for graphite content between 70-80% (w/w). | |
