Abstract
We use anhydrous sodium acetate, glucose, lactose and Colocasia antiquorum Schott as anode substrate to study the periodic curve of battery voltage and stable output voltage of different substrates, The results showed that the four kinds of microbial fuel cells with sodium acetate, glucose, lactose and pretreated Colocasia antiquorum Schott as anode substrate had the following power generation periods: 23.98 d, 20.15 d, 18.84 d and 23.52 d, respectively, and the stable voltage at the two ends of the resistance of microbial fuel cells with four different anode substrates are 0.77 V, 0.75 V, 0.65 V and 0.70 V respectively. We found at the same carbon source concentration, MFC with sodium acetate as the substrate has the best electricity production characteristics. When the pretreated Colocasia antiquorum Schott is used as anode substrate, the time for cell voltage to rise from initial value to stable value is the shortest, and as a carbon source, it can also play a dominant role in the process of electric energy collection and utilization.
