摘要: Abstract Proton exchange membranes (PEMs) are an essential component for studying microbial fuel cells (MFCs), in spite of certain limitations and high operational cost. Present study reports the performance a sulfonated polystyrene–ethylene–butylene–polystyrene (SPSEBS) membrane application MFCs. SPSEBS produces 106.9% higher power density low internal resistance than Nafion 117® single chamber MFC (SCMFC). The oxygen mass transfer coefficient (KO) is one order lesser 117 thereby reducing substrate loss while increasing coulombic efficiency (CE). maintains pH gradient between anode cathode resulting performance. change solution conductivities also much greater that SPSEBS. results this indicate could be suitable PEM improving
