  • Abstract
    Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are bio-electrochemical transducers that convert chemical energy directly into electrical energy through catalytic reaction of microorganisms.In this study, the CNT/Au nanocomposites modified electrodes were initially prepared and then the cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique was used to study the electrochemical behavior of K3[Fe(CN)6] on the bare glassy carbon electrodes and the modified glassy carbon electrodes.
