Abstract

Key findings

  • The composite cathode showed enhanced electrocatalytic activity and stability, leading to increased power density and efficiency.
  • The MFC using the composite cathode achieved a maximum power density of 1.2 W/m², outperforming a traditional MFC.
  • The composite cathode also exhibited improved durability and resistance to microbial corrosion.
