Co) catalysts were synthesized by heat treatment. The performance of the prepared M-N-C catalysts for cathode catalysts of anaerobic fluidized bed microbial fuel cell (AFBMFC) was examined. The prepared catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD)
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)
and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The electrochemical characteristics were investigated with cyclic voltammetry (CV). Using the catalysts as the cathode catalysts for AFBMFC
the electricity generation performance of the AFBMFC was examined. The maximum power of AFBMFC operating with Fe-N-C cathode catalyst was 166.82 mW·m-2
10% higher than AFBMFC with Pt/C catalyst. The open circuit voltage was up to 636.0 mV. Fe-N-C as a microbial fuel cell cathode catalyst has good activity and broad prospect.
