Abstract

Key findings

  • The composite electrode showed a significant increase in power density and current density compared to a single-component electrode.
  • The addition of poly(methylene blue) to the polypyrrole matrix improved the electrode's conductivity and stability.
  • The microbial fuel cell with the composite electrode achieved a maximum power density of 1200 mW/m², a significant improvement over previous studies.
