AB  - The anode material is vital to improve the power generation of a microbial fuel 
      cell (MFC). In this study, a carbon nanotube (CNT)-coated sponge with 
      macro-porous structure, high surface area, and high conductivity was constructed 
      as an anode to encapsulate Escherichia coli K12 (E. coli K12) cells. To achieve 
      high power generation of the MFC, the optimal concentration of the CNT coating 
      the sponge was found to be 30mgmL(-1). At this concentration, a maximum power 
      density of 787Wm(-3) and a chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal of 80.9% were 
      obtained with a long stable electricity generation process in batch mode. This 
      indicates that the biofilm on the CNT (30mgmL(-1))-coated sponge possessed 
      excellent electroactivity and stability. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) 
      images confirmed that the CNT-coated sponge provided a suitable microenvironment 
      for E. coli K12 cells to maintain their attachment and colonization. 
      Additionally, a CNT-dependent viability phenomenon of the E. coli K12 cells was 
      discovered after electricity generation. This CNT-dependent viability of the E. 
      coli K12 cells was stable and sustainable after storage at -20 degrees C in a milk tube 
      for one year.
