Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of a composite anode of a microbial fuel cell with a carbon-base material modified by a conductive complex. The preparation method comprises purifying a multi-wall carbon nanotube; placing the purified multi-wall carbon nanotube into a 0.1 to 0.5mol / L supporting electrolyte solution, and dispersing the carbon nanotube in the solution, with 5% to 20% of carbon nanotube; adding 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene monometers into the solution to obtain a well-dispersed 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene / multi-wall carbon nanotube suspending solution; electrically depositing a complex on the anode surface by cyclic voltammetry; and carrying out vacuum drying, washing with deionized water, and room-temperature airing in sequence to obtain the modified anode. The method provided by the invention can reduce use amount of toxic reactants and shorten the preparation process so as to save the preparation cost. The modified anode has the advantages of peculiar surface effect, good conductivity and electrochemical activity, is remarkably improved in the maximum power density and open-circuit voltage in comparison with the unmodified anode when used in a battery, and can greatly reduce the battery internal resistance.
