Abstract

Key findings

  • The availability of terminal electron acceptors significantly influences the electrogenic activity of MFCs, with optimal activity observed at intermediate acceptor concentrations.
  • The anodic oxidation process is affected by the type of terminal electron acceptor, with some acceptors promoting higher electrogenic activity than others.
  • The study's findings suggest that optimizing terminal electron acceptor availability can improve the performance of MFCs in terms of electrogenic activity.
