The use of a pure magnesium anode in a microbial fuel cell (MFC) was found to significantly enhance its performance, with an increase in power density by 2.5 times compared to a traditional carbon-based anode. This improvement was attributed to the higher redox potential of magnesium, which facilitated the oxidation of organic matter and the subsequent electron transfer. The results demonstrate the potential of magnesium anodes as a promising alternative for MFC applications.
