Abstract
Key findings
- Different membrane types significantly affect MFC performance, with some membranes improving power generation by up to 30%.
- Increasing resistance load reduces MFC efficiency, but certain membrane types can mitigate this effect.
- MFC performance is also influenced by the type of bacteria used, with some strains exhibiting higher power generation than others.
