| Abstract: | 3-D highly conductive polyvinyl formaldehyde sponges functionalized with acrylamide are fabricated using polyvinyl alcohol with varying concentrations of graphite nanopowder. The properties of the fabricated anodes are analyzed and its application in microbial fuel cells is evaluated. A comparative study with Graphite felt is also performed to evaluate its commercial viability. The presence of Hydroxyl and Amine functional groups enhanced the hydrophilic and biocompatible nature of the synthesized anodes. The phylogenetic analysis substantiated the biocompatible nature and mercury porosimetry showed macroporous nature of the fabricated anode. The highest power density of ~8 W/m2 is recorded for C10 establishing solid biofilm formation. A ~94% COD removal revealed the versatility of the anode for MFC based wastewater treatment. The MFC performance was twice than that of control and was also highest among the most reported modified 3-D anodes. The durability study displayed the commercial opportunity of the anode for real-time MFC operation. |
