Abstract

Key findings

  • The algal biomass supported a high density of electrochemically active microorganisms, contributing to the power generation.
  • The chromium removal efficiency was significantly improved by the presence of algal biomass, indicating a synergistic effect between chromium removal and power generation.
  • The dual chambered design allowed for the separation of anodic and cathodic reactions, enhancing the overall efficiency of the microbial fuel cell.
