Abstract

Key findings

  • Graphene-wrapped nanocrystals increase the surface area and conductivity of the anode, leading to improved power generation.
  • The Berkeley design demonstrates a 2-3 fold increase in power output compared to traditional microbial fuel cells.
  • The use of graphene-wrapped nanocrystals also enhances the stability and durability of the fuel cell.
