Abstract

Key findings

  • MFCs can efficiently convert organic matter into electricity, with power densities comparable to traditional fuel cells.
  • Optimization techniques, such as electrode modification and microbial selection, can improve MFC performance and stability.
  • MFCs have the potential to provide a sustainable and renewable source of energy, particularly for wastewater treatment and biomass conversion.
