Enhanced bioelectricity generation and azo dye treatment in a reversible photo-bioelectrochemical cell by using novel anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS)/MnOx-doped polypyrrole film electrodes
Novel AQDS/Mn/PPy electrode was prepared by one-step electropolymerization method. Interaction of AQDS and Mn with PPy exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity. AQDS/Mn/PPy electrode enhanced azo dye treatment and power output in RPBEC. Anodic and cathodic reaction were simultaneously improved during polarity reversion. RPBEC with AQDS/Mn/PPy electrode explores efficient approach for wastes treatment.
