摘要: Abstract The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalytic activities that occur in constructed wetland-microbial fuel cells (CW-MFCs) during bioelectricity production through exudates released from macrophyte rhizosphere using different alternative carbon-based catalysts combined with biocathode were studied this work. A layer of graphene/titanium dioxide (G/TiO2), graphene/nitrogen (G/N), and carbon/platinum (C/Pt) was spray-coated on the carbon cathode as electrocatalysts for CW-MFC1, CW-MFC2, CW-MFC3, respectively. Then, development biofilm took place operation CW-MFCs generating a biohybrid catalyst (carbon-based biocathodes). electrokinetic parameters showed ORR without occurred direct mechanism, which involves transfer four-electrons towards formation water. Tafel slopes 110–184 mV/dec, charge coefficients (α) ≤ 0.5, exchange current density (io) 2.0–4.9 × 10−2 mA/cm2 obtained. These demonstrated increased electrocatalytic ORR. increase active sites biocathodes led to an production. highest bioelectrochemical performance obtained G/TiO2, C/Pt maximum voltages 490 454 mV power densities 99.2 82.4 mW/m2, more than 100% compared layer. Biolectricity directly related generation sugars rhizosphere.
