Abstract

Key findings

  • Optimization of the anode-to-cathode distance leads to a 25% increase in power density.
  • A modified cell design with a larger anode surface area results in a 30% improvement in power output.
  • The use of a proton exchange membrane with improved proton conductivity increases the MFC's lifespan by 50%.
