Abstract

Key findings

  • Silver vanadate blended functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes showed enhanced electrocatalytic activity towards oxygen reduction reaction.
  • The modified cathode increased power output and efficiency of microbial fuel cells by 25% and 30%, respectively.
  • The improved cathode material also showed improved stability and durability over 1000 hours of operation.
