Abstract

Key findings

  • The composite membrane exhibited higher power density and current density compared to a commercial Nafion membrane.
  • The membrane's proton conductivity was improved by 30% due to the addition of Silico tungstic acid.
  • The membrane's stability and durability were enhanced, allowing for longer operation times in microbial fuel cells.
