Abstract

Key findings

  • The study found that the choice of cell type significantly affects the performance of the microbial desalination cell.
  • The simulation results showed that the use of a specific cell type can lead to a 20% increase in water flux.
  • The study identified the optimal cell type for periodic boundary conditions, which is crucial for the design of efficient microbial desalination cells.
