Abstract

Key findings

  • The clay-manihot starch composite proton exchange membrane showed higher power density and efficiency compared to traditional membranes.
  • The use of RSM method enabled the optimization of membrane composition and operating conditions, leading to improved performance.
  • The microbial fuel cell using the composite membrane showed stable and long-term operation with minimal degradation.
