The evaluation focuses on key operational parameters, including power generation, chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency, and coulombic efficiency (CE). In CEM-based MFCs, protons (H<sup>+</sup>) migrate from the anode to the cathode, whereas in AEM-based systems, hydroxide ions (OH<sup>−</sup>) move from the cathode to the anode. This ion transfer helps maintain pH balance, which is essential for microbial metabolism and catalytic activity. Experimental results demonstrated that the CEM-MFC achieved a power density of 181.5 mW/m<sup>2</sup> and a COD removal rate of 67 %, while the AEM-MFC produced 272.3 mW/m<sup>2</sup> and achieved 75 % COD removal. Furthermore, the CE improved from 24.4 % in CEM-MFC to 29 % in AEM-MFC. These results indicate that AEM-MFCs can generate approximately 50 % more power and exhibit enhanced CE, making them more promising candidates for sustainable energy production and wastewater treatment. The superior performance of AEM-MFC is attributed to more favorable microbial activity, better cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) conditions, and extended pH equilibrium. Additionally, the efficient transfer of OH<sup>−</sup> ions in AEMs prevents acidification in the anode compartment and supports stable microbial growth. These findings underscore the potential of anion exchange membranes as viable and sustainable alternatives in the design of high-performance MFCs for simultaneous environmental remediation and bioenergy production. This study is a pioneering work that investigates the long-term performance of cost-effective PTFE anion exchange membranes in microbial fuel cells operating with real wastewater (POME), providing crucial insights into pH regulation and microbial stability compared to the benchmark Nafion 117.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":252,"journal":{"name":"Bioelectrochemistry","volume":"167 ","pages":"Article 109083"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144879469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To test this hypothesis, an experimental system equipped with 48 microbial potentiometric sensor (MPS) electrodes and four reduction/oxidation probes (ORP) was briefly disturbed by introducing a pulse of electron donor compound (acetate), and the generated potentials were monitored over several months to validate a theoretical model that was developed and described the behaviors of RC circuits. The data suggested existence of two electrically isolated systems (biofilm and bulk solution) where the biofilm matrix served as a long-range electrical conduit employed by the biofilm microorganisms in a two-step process: (1) temporary storage of metabolic charge in the temporary electron acceptors (TEAs) within the EET network (assimilation phase) poised at higher potentials than the soluble electron acceptors, and (2) the subsequent transfer of this temporarily stored charge through the electrical gradients of the EET mechanisms (dissipation phase) to ultimate electron acceptor (oxygen) located at a distance. The developed RC model based on a generalized logistic function (Richard's function) described this biofilm behavior with high precision.
