Recently, constructed wetland-microbial fuel cells (CW-MFCs) are found to enhance the organics removal via the connection of the external circuit. Yet, it is unclear why the energy output is unmatched with the enhancement of the organics removal. This study compared the dynamic changes of the organi...
