Abstract
Key findings
- Microbial fuel cells with optimized power management systems can achieve higher power densities and longer lifespan compared to traditional systems.
- The use of power management systems in microbial fuel cells can improve the overall efficiency of energy harvesting and reduce the required surface area.
- The results suggest that microbial fuel cells with power management systems can be a viable alternative for powering small electronic devices in remote or off-grid areas.
