Abstract

Key findings

  • The ST-MFC with a membrane-aerated cathode achieved a maximum power density of 1.2 W/m², which is 2.5 times higher than that of a traditional MFC.
  • The membrane-aerated cathode design improved oxygen transfer and reduced cathode resistance, leading to increased power generation.
  • The ST-MFC also showed improved stability and durability compared to traditional MFCs.
