Abstract

Key findings

  • Energy harvesting was found to increase the power density of MFCs by 20-30%.
  • The study showed that energy harvesting can also improve the stability of MFCs by reducing the internal resistance.
  • The results indicated that energy harvesting can enhance the electrochemical performance of MFCs by promoting the growth of electrochemically active microorganisms.
