Abstract

In this study, a three-step distributed feeding method was used to prepare TiO2-attached dual CoZn-metal organic frameworks growing on ZnAl-layered double hydroxide (TiO2@ZIF-67/ZIF-8@ZnAl-LDH) as cathode catalyst of microbial fuel cell (MFC). The composite material was a composite core–shell structure constructed by multi-layer coating with sheet-like ZnAl-LDH as the base, dual MOFs as the magnetic core and TiO2 as the rough surface. The composite material had crystal planes (009), (110), (101) interface. The rough surface, core–shell core and polyhedral structure of TiO2@ZIF-67/ZIF-8@ZnAl-LDH were observed. The complete distribution of Ti, Zn, Al, and Co in the material was observed and offered active sites. The contents of Ti (15.97 %), Al (5.53 %), Na (5.04 %), N (3.52%), Zn (1.47 %) were found out. TiO2@ZIF-67/ZIF-8@ZnAl-LDH was excellent in electrochemical activity and the maximum power density was 409.6 mW/m2, the stable continuous output voltage was 538.4 mV for 8 d.
