Abstract

Key findings

  • The MFC showed a maximum power density of 1.5 W/m², which is comparable to other MFCs fed with traditional substrates.
  • The use of synthesis gas as the feedstock improved the MFC's performance, with a 30% increase in power density compared to a traditional MFC.
  • The MFC's stability was also improved, with a 90% coulombic efficiency over a 100-hour operation period.
