Abstract

Key findings

  • The addition of Tween 80 increased the power output of the microbial fuel cell by 23.1%.
  • The internal resistance of the microbial fuel cell was reduced by 31.4% with the addition of Tween 80.
  • The addition of Tween 80 improved the stability of the microbial fuel cell, with a longer lifespan and more consistent power output.
