Abstract

Key findings

  • The use of Sulphonated Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane dispersed Sulphonated Polystyrene Ethylene Butylene Polystyrene nanocomposite membranes improved power production by 25%.
  • Optimization of process parameters, including substrate concentration and bacterial load, further increased power production by 15%.
  • The nanocomposite membrane showed improved durability and stability compared to traditional membranes.
