Abstract

Abstract not Available.

Key findings

  • Different microbial catalysts significantly impact MFC performance, with some showing higher power density than others.
  • The use of certain oxidants at the cathode, such as potassium permanganate, improves MFC performance compared to others.
  • The combination of specific microbial catalysts and oxidants at the cathode results in optimal MFC performance.
