This study presents a 3D‐printed gyroid resin anode for microbial fuel cell biosensors. Compared with carbon felt, it enables either a broader dynamic range or higher sensitivity, depending on the operation mode. By improving real‐time monitoring of organic load, these biosensors support more efficient process control and contribute to the goal of ...
