Abstract

Key findings

  • The air cathode design improved oxygen transfer and reduced internal resistance, leading to increased power density.
  • The single chamber stackable design enabled easy scalability and reduced costs.
  • The MFC achieved a maximum power density of 1.2 W/m², outperforming traditional MFCs.
