Abstract

Effects of cathode types on the long-term stability of microbial fuel cell (MFC) and the anodic microbial communities were studied using K ₃Fe(CN) ₆ catholyte (R1), air cathode (R2) and biocathode (R3) over a testing time of 400d. Upon 400d of testing, the maximum power densities (P _max) of R1 and R2 decreased by 44% and 37%, and the Coulombic efficiencies (CEs) decreased 8.4% (R1) and 2.0% (R2), respectively, using the performances on 10d as the comparison basis. Conversely, the P _max and CE of R3 increased by 68.2% and 116.8%, respectively. The non-ohmic resistances (R _no) in all tests were the principal contributors of cell internal resistances. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that the microbial communities on anodic surface varied with cathode types and operational history.
