Abstract

Key findings

  • The xerogel-based catalyst exhibits improved oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity and stability compared to traditional catalysts.
  • The MFC with the xerogel-based catalyst shows a significant increase in power density and a decrease in electrode fouling.
  • The xerogel-based catalyst also demonstrates improved durability and resistance to microbial corrosion.
