Yeast and carbon nanotube based biocatalyst developed by synergetic effects of covalent bonding and hydrophobic interaction for performance enhancement of membraneless microbial fuel cell
We develop a new type of membraneless microbial fuel cell (MFC). Yeast cells are cultivated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Yeast cells immobilized on carbon nanotube are developed as anodic catalyst. Superior catalytic activity and MFC performance are gained by yeast/CNT catalyst. MFC adopting yeast/CNT maintains its MPD even after eight days.
