文摘Microbial electrochemical systems are a promising green and sustainable technology that can transform waste into electricity.Improving conversion efficiency and lowering system costs,particularly for elec-trodes,are the primary directions that promote practical application.Cellulose sponges made from wood pulp have been industrially mass-produced in various application scenarios due to their porosity and green sustainability.In this study,the three-dimensional(3D)porous cellulose sponges carbon(CSC)was obtained by directly carbonizing cellulose sponges at different temperatures(600,700,800,900,1000,and 1100℃).It has been successfully used as a high-performance anode in microbial fuel cells(MFCs).The carbonization temperature significantly impacted the materials’specific surface area,con-ductivity,and capacitance.The greater the anode material’s carbonization temperature,the lower the charge transfer resistance and the higher the maximum power density(CSC-1100,4.1±0.1 W m^(-2)).The CSC-700's maximum power density(3.62±0.11 W m^(-2))was the highest power density reported to date among lignocellulose-based anodes with relatively low energy consumption.The pleated multilayer porous surface promotes microbial adhesion and can build thicker biofilms with the highest biomass of 2661±117μg cm^(-2)(CSC-1100)and containing 86%electrogenic bacteria(Geobacter).To investigate the effect of conducting polymers on the material’s surface,we introduced polyaniline and polypyrrole.We found that the CSC-1000/PPy bioanodes produced a maximum power density(4.18±0.05 W m^(-2)),slightly higher than of without polypyrrole-modified(CSC-1000,3.99±0.06 W m^(-2)),indicating that the CSCs anode surface had excellent electron transfer efficiency and could achieve the same amount of energy as the polypyrrole surface.This study introduced a promising method for fabricating high-performance anodes using low-cost,industrialized,and sustainable materials.

文摘Graphene-based frameworks suffer from a low quantum capacitance due to graphene’s Dirac point at the Fermi level.This theoretical study investigated the effect structural defects,nitrogen and boron doping,and surface epoxy/hydroxy groups have on the electronic structure and capacitance of graphene.Density functional theory calculations reveal that the lowest energy configurations for nitrogen or boron substitutional doping occur when the dopant atoms are segregated.This elucidates why the magnetic transition for nitrogen doping is experimentally only observed at higher doping levels.We also highlight that the lowest energy configuration for a single vacancy defect is magnetic.Joint density functional theory calculations show that the fixed band approximation becomes increasingly inaccurate for electrolytes with lower dielectric constants.The introduction of structural defects rather than nitrogen or boron substitutional doping,or the introduction of adatoms leads to the largest increase in density of states and capacitance around graphene’s Dirac point.However,the presence of adatoms or substitutional doping leads to a larger shift of the potential of zero charge away from graphene’s Dirac point.
