The combined use of brush anodes and glass fiber (GF1) separators, and plastic mesh supporters were used here for the first time to create a scalable microbial fuel cell architecture. Separators prevented short circuiting of closely-spaced electrodes, and cathode supporters were used to avoid water gaps between the separator and cathode that can reduce power production. The maximum power density with a separator and supporter and a single cathode was 75 ± 1 W/m(3). Removing the separator decreased power by 8%. Adding a second cathode increased power to 154 ± 1 W/m(3). Current was increased by connecting two MFCs connected in parallel. These results show that brush anodes, combined with a glass fiber separator and a plastic mesh supporter, produce a useful MFC architecture that is inherently scalable due to good insulation between the electrodes and a compact architecture.
这里首次将电刷阳极和玻璃纤维 (GF1) 分离器以及塑料网支撑物结合使用，以创建可扩展的微生物燃料电池架构。隔板可防止电极间距过近而发生短路，阴极支撑物则用于避免隔板和阴极之间出现可能会降低发电能力的水隙。带有隔板和支撑物以及单个阴极的最大功率密度为 75 ± 1 W/m(3)。去掉隔板会使功率降低 8%。增加第二个阴极可将功率提高到 154 ± 1 W/m(3)。通过将两个并联的 MFC 连接起来可增加电流。这些结果表明，电刷阳极与玻璃纤维隔板和塑料网支撑物结合使用，产生了一种有用的 MFC 架构，由于电极之间的良好绝缘和紧凑的架构，该架构具有固有可扩展性。
