  • Publication number: 20210139880
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses microbial conductive ceramics and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of microorganisms and the technical field of semiconductor materials. The disclosure is based on ordinary insulating macroporous ceramics, using the means of cell immobilization and the principle of microbial adsorption, to prepare the microbial conductive ceramics including macroporous ceramics, microbes immobilized on the macroporous ceramics and metal ions adsorbed to the microbes. The microbial conductive ceramics have excellent performance, and the conductivity of the microbial conductive ceramics can reach 2.91×106 S/m. At the same time, the cost of the microbial conductive ceramics is low, only 10% of the cost of conductive ceramics with the same conductivity.
