Abstract

Key findings

  • The MFC achieved a maximum power density of 1.2 W/m², comparable to traditional MFCs.
  • The use of Shewanella putrefaciens as the anode microorganism improved the MFC's performance and stability.
  • The mediator-less design reduced the cost and complexity of the MFC system.
