Abstract

Key findings

  • Reduced graphene oxide significantly enhances the cathode's electrochemical performance and metal recovery in microbial fuel cells.
  • Biofilms formed on the cathode surface exhibit improved catalytic activity and stability, contributing to increased energy and metal recovery.
  • The combination of reduced graphene oxide and biofilms as cathode catalysts leads to a significant increase in power density and metal recovery efficiency.
