Abstract

Key findings

  • The iron(II) molybdate nanocatalyst coated anode showed a significant increase in power density compared to the graphene-based anode.
  • The MFC using the iron(II) molybdate nanocatalyst coated anode achieved a maximum power density of 1.2 W/m², which is higher than the 0.8 W/m² achieved with the graphene-based anode.
  • The iron(II) molybdate nanocatalyst coated anode also showed improved stability and durability compared to the graphene-based anode.
