Abstract

Key findings

  • Graphene-supported V2O5-nanorod catalytic cathode significantly enhances the power generation of microbial fuel cells.
  • The use of graphene-supported V2O5-nanorod catalytic cathode improves the efficiency of microbial fuel cells by 25-30%.
  • The improved performance of microbial fuel cells is attributed to the high surface area and conductivity of the graphene-supported V2O5-nanorod catalytic cathode.
