AI summary
70% confidenceThis study presents a small-scale air-cathode microbial fuel cell (MFC) designed for on-line monitoring of water quality, utilizing a novel electrode configuration and a compact, low-cost setup. The MFC demonstrated stable and reproducible performance, with a maximum power density of 120 mW/m², and successfully detected changes in water quality parameters such as pH and conductivity. The system's compact size and ease of operation make it suitable for real-time monitoring applications in various water treatment and environmental monitoring contexts.
