I think that graphite felt or even homemade activated charcoal are expensive (or hard to manufacture) for electrodes. I could use cheaper off-the-shelf steel wool. It possible to use it for electrodes. And I should add micro algae into cathode too. It should increase power. I could buy chlorella or micro algae from e-commerce stores in Thailand (mostly sell to moina breeder).
