Abstract

Key findings

  • The sulfonated SiO2 nanocomposite membrane showed improved power density and coulombic efficiency compared to the control membrane.
  • The addition of sulfonated SiO2 also improved the membrane's mechanical strength and water uptake.
  • The microbial fuel cell with the sulfonated SiO2 nanocomposite membrane demonstrated higher power generation and longer lifespan compared to the control cell.
