▎ 摘　　要

Iron phthalocyanine (FePc) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-dispersed activated carbon fiber (ACF) is used for the first time as electrodes in a microbial fuel cell (MFC) for energy generation and biodegradation of glyphosate in wastewater. The FePc-rGO/ACF is studied through various physicochemical characterization techniques. Electrochemical analysis shows a pseudocapacitive behaviour with consistent redox peaks of FePc-rGO/ACF, and a 4 e- pathway for oxygen reduction reaction at the cathode. High maximum current and power densities (similar to 8050 mA m(-2) and 1101 mW m(-2), respectively) are measured for the whole MFC, with simultaneous similar to 80% degradation of glyphosate (30 mg L-1) and 79% reduction in chemical oxygen demand at the anode. The improved performance of MFC is attributed to the synergistic effects of FePc and rGO and biocompatibility of the material. The present study has successfully demonstrated the FePc-rGO/ACF electrode-based MFC to be a green bioelectrochemical device for efficient bioelectricity generation and biodegradation of emerging herbicides in wastewater.
