Abstract

Key findings

  • The anion-exchange membrane installation increased power density by 23% compared to a traditional microbial fuel cell.
  • Bicarbonate-buffered cathode conditions improved power density by 15% compared to a traditional cathode.
  • Optimization of anion-exchange membrane and bicarbonate-buffered cathode conditions resulted in a maximum power density of 1.35 W/m².
