Abstract
Key findings
- Classical microbial fuel cells have high power density but low stability, while sediment-microbial fuel cells have low power density but high stability.
- Plant-microbial fuel cells have moderate power density and stability, and are suitable for wastewater treatment and electricity generation.
- Constructed wetlands-microbial fuel cells have low power density but high stability, and are suitable for wastewater treatment and water purification.
