Rice-paddy microbial fuel cells generate electricity from organic matter that is photosynthesized by rice plants and exudated from the roots. We examined factors that might affect cell performance, and found that cathode modification with platinum catalysts, anode position, and external load largely affected the power output.
稻田微生物燃料电池利用水稻植株光合作用产生并从根部渗出的有机物发电。我们研究了可能影响电池性能的因素,发现用铂催化剂对阴极进行改性、阳极位置和外部负载对功率输出有很大影响。
