But one of their biggest factors that affect their functioning is the environmental conditions such as temperature and pH, which regulate microbial activity and electron transfer as well. This work dealt with the effects of nanomaterial\u2010modified anodes and exposure to temperature change, pH fluctuations, and voltage production of the single\u2010chamber MFCs treating real domestic wastewater. Nine MFC systems, with a control one and eight nanomaterial\u2010coated anodes (CNT, Al\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    O\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    , TiO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    , Fe\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    O\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    , CeO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    , ZnO, activated carbon, and boron nitride), were run for 14\u2009days under the same conditions. Modification to the MFC system with nanoparticles led to different temperature patterns of the MFC systems and the BN\u2010modified system showed the highest temperature values. Temperature and voltage output showed a strong positive relationship, which was identified through correlation analysis (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009\u2248\u20090.81), and on the other hand, a moderate negative relationship was reported between pH and voltage (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009\u2248\u2009\u22120.41). These relationships represent statistical associations under the tested conditions and do not establish direct causation. The BN\u2010modified system combined a comparatively small pH decrease with favorable voltage output during the 14\u2010day operation. Overall, the results indicate that MFC performance was associated with the combined responses of temperature, pH, COD removal, and electrochemical output under the tested conditions. Among the tested materials, the BN\u2010modified system showed the most favorable overall combination of these measured responses.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/wer.70619","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,8]],"date-time":"2026-10-08T13:34:47Z","timestamp":1791466487000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Coupled Effects of Nanomaterial\u2010Modified Anodes on Temperature, pH Stability, and COD Removal in Microbial Fuel Cells"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"98","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1884-7643","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehmet Burak","family":"Bostan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering D\u00fczce University  D\u00fczce T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3767-3156","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fikret","family":"Polat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering D\u00fczce University  D\u00fczce T\u00fcrkiye"},{"name":"Sustainable Enegy Technologies Application and Research Center Duzce University  Duzce T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"319","DOI":"10.22438\/jeb\/46\/3\/MRN-5524","article-title":"Eco\u2010Friendly Fabrication Principles of Microbial Fuel Cells Using Nanotechnology Principles for Sustainable Energy Production: A Review","volume":"46","author":"Abiraamavalli T.","year":"2025","journal-title":"Journal of Environmental Biology"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.3390\/pr11010163","article-title":"Impact of Self\u2010Fabricated Graphene\u2013Metal Oxide Composite Anodes on Metal Degradation and Energy Generation via a Microbial Fuel Cell","volume":"11","author":"Ahmad A.","year":"2023","journal-title":"Processes"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1007\/s40710-024-00728-0","article-title":"Effects of Retention Time, pH, Temperature and Type of Fruit Wastes on the Bioelectricity Generation Performance of Microbial Fuel Cell During the Biotreatment of Pharmaceutical Wastewater: Experimental Study, Optimization and Modelling","volume":"11","author":"Akinwumi O.
