Abstract
Key findings
- The PMFC showed a significant increase in power output in response to increased substrate concentration, indicating its ability to detect changes in environmental conditions.
- The sensor was able to distinguish between different types of substrates, demonstrating its specificity and potential for use in monitoring a variety of pollutants.
- The PMFC was able to maintain its performance over multiple cycles, indicating its potential for long-term use as an environmental biosensor.
