Abstract
Key findings
- The anode electrode was colonized by a diverse community of electrogenic bacteria, including Geobacter and Shewanella species.
- The use of cow urine as inoculum resulted in a significant increase in power density compared to other inocula.
- MXene was found to enhance the electrochemical performance of the microbial fuel cell by increasing the anode potential and reducing the internal resistance.
