Abstract:
A microbial fuel cell ( 100 ) includes: a positive electrode ( 10, 10 A); a negative electrode ( 20 ) that holds microorganisms; and an electrolysis solution ( 70 ). The positive electrode includes: an electric conductor layer ( 1 ): a porous body layer ( 2 ) that is laminated on the electric conductor layer and supports a catalyst ( 3 ) therein; and a water-repellent layer ( 4 ) that is laminated on a surface ( 1 b ) of the electric conductor layer, which is opposite of a surface ( 1 a ) thereof in contact with the porous body layer, or a surface ( 2 b ) of the porous body layer, which is opposite of a surface ( 2 a ) thereof in contact with the electric conductor layer. Then, the porous body layer and the negative electrode are immersed in the electrolysis solution, and at least a part of the water-repellent layer is exposed to a gas phase ( 90 ).

Claim (Index 3):
The microbial fuel cell according to  claim 1 , further comprising: an ion transfer layer that is provided between the positive electrode and the negative electrode and has proton permeability.
