Abstract: In microbial fuel cells (MFCs), physical and electrochemical interactions between microbes and electrode surfaces are critical to performance. Nanomaterial-based electrodes have shown promising performances, however their unique characteristics have not been fully utilized. The developed electrodes here that consist of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) directly grown in the radial direction from the wires of stainless steel (SS) meshes, providing extremely large three-dimensional surfaces while ensuring min… Show more

“…It is reported that CNTs have strong cell adhesion, cell attachment and growth properties [37,38]. Very recently, Erbay et al reported that microbes grown over CNTs result in excellent charge transfer characteristics due to p-p stacking between the carbon atoms of graphite and the pili (a cellular outgrowth) of microorganisms [39]. CNTs can be grown directly over the stainless steel mesh to keep the ohmic resistance low.…”

“…Then growth medium containing acetate (1.0 g/L) in Nutrient/Mineral/Buffer (NMB) solution was used (10 mL/L mineral base 1, 10 mL/L mineral base 2, and 1 mL/L nutrient base). The solution was replaced with a fresh one when the voltage across the load resistor dropped below 50 mV [28,[37][38][39]. The constructed two-chamber MFCs are shown in Figure 2.…”

“…This observation 233 raises a significant concern for the usage of CNT-modified bioanode as G. sulfurreducens, a high current 234 producing bacterium usually form a thick biofilm (> 20 µm). 75 Erbay et al 76 systematically investigated the 235 role of the geometry of CNTs on the performance of MFCs. They demonstrated that longer CNTs delivered 236 higher current density than the smaller CNTs, which is possibly due to the large surface area of the former.…”
