Abstract

Key findings

  • The magnetite/MWCNT modified anode significantly increased the power output of the MFC compared to a plain anode.
  • E. coli was able to transfer electrons directly to the anode, eliminating the need for external mediators.
  • The modified anode also showed improved stability and durability compared to the plain anode.
