Abstract

Key findings

  • Increasing cell pair numbers up to a certain point improves the efficiency of microbial desalination cells.
  • Beyond a certain threshold, further increases in cell pair numbers lead to decreased efficiency.
  • The optimal cell pair number for maximum efficiency varies depending on the specific microbial desalination cell configuration.
