In recent years, the modification of electrode materials for enhancing the power generation of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has attracted considerable attention. In this study, a conventional carbon felt (CF) electrode was modified by NiFe₂O₄ (NiFe₂O₄@CF), MXene (MXene@CF), and NiFe₂O₄-MXene (NiFe₂O₄-MXene@CF) using facile dip-and-dry and hydrothermal methods. In these modified CF electrodes, the electrochemical performance considerably improved, while the highest power density (1385 mW/m²), which was 5.6, 2.8, and 1.4 times higher than those of CF, NiFe₂O₄@CF, and MXene@CF anodes, respectively, was achieved using NiFe₂O₄-MXene@CF. Furthermore, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry results confirmed the superior bioelectrochemical activity of a NiFe₂O₄-MXene@CF anode in a MFC. The improved performance could be attributed to the low charge …
