Chemical Polymerization Method to Synthesize Polyaniline as a Novel Anode Catalyst in Microbial Fuel Cell

Abstract

In this work, the chemical polymerization has been employed to synthesis the polyaniline with different concentrations of sulfuric acid. The casting process has been an appropriate method to prepare thin films on the FTO glass. FTIR spectroscopy was used to characteristic IR spectrum vibrational bands of synthesized polymer. The films have been successfully tested as anode in microbial fuel cell application and gave a noticeable effect on the performance of microbial fuel cell system.
