Single chamber photocatalytic fuel cell (SCPFC) with a magnetic core/shell ZnFe₂O₄@ZnO_0.6S_0.4 immobilized onto carbon cloth as photoanode and an air cathode was efficiently fabricated and operated under solar light for wastewater remediation and power generation. Analysis methods including XRD, FE-SEM, EDX, UV–Vis diffusion reflectance spectrum, VSM and BET surface area were performed to characterize the prepared nanocomposites and the modified photoanode. Refinery wastewater effluent was used to study the SCPFC performance in term of maximum power density (P_max) and the short circuit current density (J_sc). The ZnFe₂O₄@ZnO_0.6S_0.4 photoanode based SCPFC revealed stable and outstanding performance. The P_max and J_sc were 11.8 $\mathrm{\mu }$W/cm² and 46.4 $\mathrm{\mu }$A/cm², respectively, which were higher than cell operated without organic substrates (2.9 $\mathrm{\mu }$W/cm² and 19.5 $\mathrm{\mu }$A/cm², respectively). The COD degradation tests (initial COD was 435 mg/l) exhibited high COD removal (82.4%) in the SCPFC process in 5 h, compared with that of photocatalytic degradation process (61.2%).

以磁性阳极/壳ZnFe ₂ O ₄ @ZnO _0.6 S _0.4固定在碳布上作为光阳极和空气阴极的单室光催化燃料电池（SCPFC）被有效地制造并在太阳光下操作以用于废水修复和发电。进行了包括XRD，FE-SEM，EDX，UV-Vis扩散反射光谱，VSM和BET表面积在内的分析方法，以表征制备的纳米复合材料和改性的光电阳极。炼油厂废水用于研究最大功率密度（P _max）和短路电流密度（J _sc）方面的SCPFC性能。ZnFe ₂ O ₄ @ZnO基于_0.6 S _0.4光电阳极的SCPFC表现出稳定且出色的性能。P _max和J _sc为11.8$\mathrm{\mu }$W / cm ²和46.4$\mathrm{\mu }$A / cm ²，分别高于没有有机底物的电解池（2.9$\mathrm{\mu }$W / cm ²和19.5$\mathrm{\mu }$A / cm ²）。与光催化降解过程（61.2％）相比，SCPFC过程中的COD降解试验（初始COD为435 mg / l）在5小时内具有较高的COD去除率（82.4％）。
