Abstract
Key findings
- The device demonstrated stable power output over 30 days, with an average voltage of 0.45V and current of 0.15mA.
- The power density of the device was found to be 0.25mW/cm², suitable for powering subsea sensors.
- The microbial fuel cell showed improved performance when using a multiple-anodes design, increasing power output by 30% compared to a single-anode design.
