BIOGENERATOR, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve power generating efficiency of a biogenerator using an air cathode.

SOLUTION: The biogenerator includes a negative electrode chamber 4 having a negative electrode and holding liquid including microorganisms and electron donors, and a positive electrode chamber 3 separated with respect to the negative electrode chamber via an ion-permeable non-conductive membrane 2 and equipped with a positive electrode contacting the ion-permeable non-conductive membrane, and power generation is carried out by supplying oxygen containing gas to the positive electrode chamber. Manganese dioxide is carried on a conductive substrate of the positive electrode chamber by electrolytic deposition.
