Impact of cathodic electron acceptor on microbial fuel cell internal resistance.
TL;DR: The electrode potential slope (EPS) analysis method showed that electrode resistances were similar for ferricyanide and air-cathode MFCs, and that higher power was due to the larger experimental working potential of ferricianide compared to the air cathode.
