AI summary
70% confidenceThis study demonstrates that soil-based microbial fuel cells exhibit increased power output when subjected to dynamic temperature fluctuations, with output voltage spiking in response to temperature oscillations regardless of temperature direction. The resulting power output is higher than what can be achieved at any constant temperature. This phenomenon suggests a potential strategy for optimizing power generation in microbial fuel cells.

Abstract
Oscillating ambient temperatures cause spikes in output voltage of soil microbial fuel cells, independent of temperature direction. The resulting output is higher than could be achieved at any constant temperature.
