Abstract
Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a unique energy technology that can treat wastewater and concurrently generate electricity. However, the MFC performance is typically rather limited due to the sluggish kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and insufficient ion transfer on the cathode. Thus, development of high-performance ORR catalysts with enhanced ion transfer is of fundamental significance for the wide-spread application of MFC. In this study, nanocomposites (GO-Zn/Co) based on graphene oxide-supported cobalt and zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by a hydrothermal treatment of graphene oxide and cobalt and zinc acetates followed by pyrolysis at controlled temperatures. The porosity of the resulting nanocomposites was found to vary with the pyrolysis temperature and Zn/Co mole ratios. The sample prepared at 800
