Abstract

Key findings

  • The addition of graphene to the nanocomposite membrane significantly improves the power output and stability of the microbial fuel cell.
  • The microbial community analysis reveals a shift in the dominant microbial species when graphene is added to the membrane.
  • The improved performance of the microbial fuel cell is attributed to the enhanced electron transfer and conductivity of the nanocomposite membrane.
