Carbonized Cow Dung as a High Performance and Low Cost Anode Material for Bioelectrochemical Systems

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
We develop a high-performance anode formed from carbonized cow dung for bioelectrochemical systems. Thermal gravimetric analysis showed that the CD carbonization process started at 300°C and ended at approximately 550°C; the weight was reduced by 51 ...
