Abstract

Key findings

  • Biocathode microbial fuel cells using petroleum-contaminated soil as catholyte showed improved power generation compared to traditional catholytes.
  • Hot water spring as catholyte enhanced the degradation of petroleum contaminants in the biocathode.
  • The biocathode microbial fuel cells demonstrated stable and long-term operation with minimal power loss.
