Abstract
Key findings
- The co-culture of heterotrophic and photosynthetic bacteria in a micro-sized microbial fuel cell increases bioelectricity generation by 30% compared to single-culture systems.
- The addition of photosynthetic bacteria enhances the efficiency of bioelectricity generation by 25% under solar irradiation.
- The micro-sized microbial fuel cell demonstrates a stable and self-sustaining bioelectricity generation over a period of 30 days.
