Résumé

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) that are bio-energy transducers capture bioelectricity produced from the oxidation of organic matter by using the electro-active bacteria grown on the biofilm attached on anode. Previous studies explored the effect of several limiting factors, such as electrode material, catalyst type, membrane structure, and electrolyte, on the electrochemical performance of MFCs. However, the effects of electrode position on Cr(VI) reduction and bioelectricity production remain unknown. In this study, MFCs with different electrode positions (i.e., 4 cm (MFC-4), 3 cm (MFC-3), 2 cm (MFC-2), and 1 cm (MFC-1)) were designed and fabricated to evaluate the overall performance of MFCs. The results of electrochemical analysis confirmed that MFC-2 exhibited low exchange transfer resistance (4.9 Ω) and strong conductivity, resulting in optimal electrochemical performance. In addition, Cr(VI) was completely removed within 11 h in MFC-2 with a large reduction rate of 0.91 g/m
