Abstract
Key findings
- The membrane exhibited high proton conductivity and stability, enabling efficient electron transfer and bioelectricity production.
- The microbial fuel cell with the sulfonated membrane showed a significant increase in power density and coulombic efficiency compared to a cell with a traditional membrane.
- The membrane's performance was attributed to its unique structure and functional groups, which facilitated proton transport and reduced internal resistance.
