Nanocomposite of polypyrrole/polyaniline multiwalled carbon nanotubes (PANI/PPY-multiwalled carbon nanotubes [MWCNT]) was electrochemically deposited on surface of porous carbon cloth (CC). The Modified nanocomposite was used as anode in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) for sewage waste water treatment while generating electrical power. The modified electrodes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FTIR. The electrochemical properties and conductivity of the electrode have been evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The composite electrode shows good conductivity and power Density 1,145.4 + 5.5 mWm-2 obtained at seventh day, 15th and 27th day of incubation Composite also shows stability and biocompatibility for sewage waste water treatment while generating electricity.
