Abstract
Key findings
- Optimized nanoparticle loading (10-20 mg/cm²) significantly increased electricity production by 25-30% compared to untreated electrodes.
- Higher nanoparticle densities (>20 mg/cm²) led to decreased electricity production and altered microbial community composition.
- The study highlights the importance of nanoparticle density in optimizing microbial fuel cell performance and suggests potential applications in wastewater treatment and bioelectricity generation.
