Abstract
Key findings
- Anode aeration increased power density by 2.5 times compared to non-aerated conditions.
- Microbial community analysis revealed a shift towards more efficient electrochemically active bacteria under aerated conditions.
- Optimization of anode aeration led to a 30% reduction in internal resistance.
