Today, energy production problem is seriously in the world. Wastes is one of the renewable energy resources, it is converted to electrical energy by Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC). In this study, a chamber-less MFC was constructed by some acrylic parts, electrodes and a filter paper-based proton exchange membrane (PEM). Bacillus subtilis was incubated and fixed on activated carbon sheet. To replace chemically treated PEM, Vaseline was used to treat the paper-based PEM. To increase the output, multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) liquid was used to glue the cathodic electrode and filter paper-based PEM. Current density and power density were measured. Maximum current density and power density were 55 and 3.86 , respectively. Internal resistance of MFC was estimated between 5kΩ and 10kΩ based on the polarization curve. Vaseline-treated paper-based membrane and MWCNT gluing method had positive effectiveness on the performance of the chamber-less MFC.Refference:
