Abstract

Key findings

  • The modified anode increased the power density of the MFC by 25% compared to the unmodified anode.
  • The mesoporous carbon structure improved the anode's ability to facilitate electron transfer and reduce internal resistance.
  • The modified MFC also showed improved stability and durability over a 30-day operation period.
