Abstract

Key findings

  • Optimization of anode-to-cathode distance and electrode material significantly improved power output.
  • Response surface methodology revealed a quadratic relationship between anode-to-cathode distance and power output.
  • The optimized double-chamber microbial fuel cell showed a 25% increase in power output compared to the unoptimized design.
