Abstract
Key findings
- Controlled inoculum increased power generation by 25% compared to uncontrolled inoculum.
- The microbial fuel cell using palm oil mill effluent as feedstock produced a maximum power density of 1.2 W/m².
- The use of controlled inoculum reduced the internal resistance of the microbial fuel cell by 30%.
