Abstract
Key findings
- The modified anode showed a 30% increase in power density compared to the unmodified anode.
- The addition of nano-polypyrrole improved the anode's conductivity and surface area.
- The MFC with the modified anode produced a maximum power density of 1.2 W/m², a 50% increase from the control.
