Résumé
The lack of electron acceptors in cathode has limited the widespread application of sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFCs). In this study, Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris) was added to the cathode to produce oxygen as an electron acceptor. The synergistic effects between C. vulgaris and electrogenic microorganisms in SMFCs were investigated, and were shown to enhance biodegradation of organic matter in sediments and convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Results showed that the addition of C. vulgaris on the cathode of SMFCs significantly reduced their internal resistance. The low algae concentration SMFC group reduced the initial internal resistance by 67.4% under illumination and produced a maximum power density of 5.17 W/m
