An electrode for use in a microbial fuel cell comprising a porous substrate and nanostructure coating, for example, a carbon nanotube coating, is provided. The electrode can be configured as either a cathode or an anode, or both. Also provided is a microbial fuel cell comprising an anode compartment comprising an anode and a cathode compartment comprising a cathode and a metallic catalyst, wherein at least one of the anode and cathode comprises the porous substrate conformally coated with the nanostructure coating, and the cathode and anode are electrically connected. Methods for generating an electrical current with marine sediment or wastewater with the microbial fuel cell are also described.
A microbial fuel cell comprising an anode compartment comprising an anode and a cathode compartment comprising a cathode and a metallic catalyst, wherein the anode and cathode compartments are separated by an ion exchange membrane, at least one of the anode and cathode comprises a porous substrate conformally coated with a conductive nanostructure coating, and the anode and cathode are electrically connected to one another.
