This paper presents a study on the recovery of electrical energy in Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs), where microorganisms convert chemical energy into electrical energy. The results show that MFCs can efficiently generate electricity from wastewater and organic substrates, with power densities ranging from 100 to 400 mW/m². The study highlights the potential of MFCs as a sustainable and renewable energy source.
