Abstract

Key findings

  • The nanocomposite membrane showed enhanced proton conductivity and mechanical stability compared to traditional membranes.
  • The microbial fuel cell using the nanocomposite membrane achieved a higher power density and longer lifespan than those using traditional membranes.
  • The nanocomposite membrane's improved performance was attributed to its unique nanostructure and enhanced ion transport properties.
