Abstract

Key findings

  • Optimized bio-cathode materials increase power output by 25% compared to standard materials.
  • Vertical subsurface flow constructed wetland microbial fuel cell systems can achieve power densities of up to 1.5 W/m².
  • Bio-cathode configuration optimization leads to a 30% reduction in internal resistance.
