Abstract
Key findings
- The MFC achieved a maximum power density of 2.5 W/m², sufficient to power a wireless telecommunication system.
- The system operated for 30 days without maintenance, indicating a stable and reliable energy source.
- The MFC's performance was improved by optimizing the anode and cathode materials and the sediment-microbial interface.
