Abstract

Key findings

  • Energy harvesting strategies significantly influence the performance of sediment microbial fuel cells, with some strategies leading to improved power generation.
  • The microbial community composition is altered by different energy harvesting strategies, with some strategies favoring the growth of certain microorganisms.
  • The optimal energy harvesting strategy depends on the specific sediment characteristics and microbial community present.
