Graphene has been widely used as an anode modification material to enhance the performance of microbial fuel cells (MFCs). The hydrophobicity of graphene and the insulation of the binders used in the electrode preparation were two adverse factors for performance enhancement of the graphene (G) anodes. In this work, binder-free graphene–cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) anodes (G-CTAB-2.5, G-CTAB-5 and G-CTAB-10) prepared with low loadings of CTAB treated graphene were fabricated through a simple strategy and their performance tested in single-chamber MFCs.
