Carbon Nanotube Planted on Ni-Based Alloy in Microbial Fuel Cell

Carbon Nanotube Planted on Ni-Based Alloy in Microbial Fuel Cell

The improvement of electrode materials used in microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology for enhancing the power performance of MFCs has attracted more and more attention lately. In this study, an new electrode material with a carbon nanotube planted on an Ni-based alloy substrate is applied to the MFC....
