Abstract
With pretreatment via photocatalysis, the output power density of MFC increased and more X-3B was removed.
Key findings
- The TiO2 photocatalysis pretreatment increased the output power density of the MFC.
- The pretreatment also led to a significant removal of X-3B from the feed.
- The combination of photocatalysis and MFC technology shows promise for wastewater treatment and energy harvesting.
