Abstract

Key findings

  • Initial biofilm growth significantly influences the electrochemical behavior in the anode chamber, affecting power generation and biofilm development.
  • The presence of a mediator in the cathode chamber enhances the electrochemical performance of the MFC, but is negatively impacted by initial biofilm growth.
  • Optimization of the anode chamber's operating conditions can mitigate the negative effects of initial biofilm growth on power generation.
