Abstract

Anode material and its structure have important influence on the performance of microbial fuel cell. This paper reviews the development of carbon anode of microbial fuel cell briefly, describes the general trend of its improved method, and the research status of the anode modification of microbial fuel cell is introduced from two aspects, which are body modification of anode material and anode modification with external modifying group.
