Abstract

Key findings

  • MFCs can achieve high power densities, comparable to traditional fuel cells, under optimal conditions.
  • The energy sustainability of MFCs is influenced by factors such as substrate type, electrode material, and operating conditions.
  • Case study results indicate that MFCs can be a viable option for decentralized energy generation, particularly in rural or remote areas.
