Microbial fuel cells: From fundamentals to applications. A review

Journal of Power Sources, Journal Year: 2017, Volume and Issue: 356, P. 225 - 244

Published: April 7, 2017

In the past 10–15 years, microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology has captured attention of scientific community for possibility transforming organic waste directly into electricity through microbially catalyzed anodic, and microbial/enzymatic/abiotic cathodic electrochemical reactions. this review, several aspects are considered. Firstly, a brief history abiotic to biological cells subsequently, is presented. Secondly, development concept wider range derivative technologies, called bioelectrochemical systems, described introducing briefly electrolysis cells, desalination electrosynthesis cells. The focus then shifted electroactive biofilms electron transfer mechanisms involved with solid electrodes. Carbonaceous metallic anode materials introduced, followed by an explanation electro catalysis oxygen reduction reaction its behavior in neutral media, from recent studies. Cathode catalysts based on carbonaceous, platinum-group metal platinum-group-metal-free presented, along membrane view future directions. Finally, practical implementation, utilization energy output applications, described.

Microbial fuel cells, a renewable energy technology for bio-electricity generation: A mini-review

Electrochemistry Communications, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 125, P. 107003 - 107003

Published: March 11, 2021

The unsustainable nature and the environmental impact of fossil fuels have shifted attention to renewable energy fuel cells, especially in transportation sector. In this study, generation electricity based on electrons released from biochemical reactions facilitated by microbes is evaluated. Microbial cell (MFC) represents an eco-friendly approach generating while purifying wastewater concurrently, achieving up 50% chemical oxygen demand removal power densities range 420–460 mW/m2. system utilizes metabolism bacteria for generation. This mini-review quite comprehensive. It different other reviews, it all-inclusive focusing the; types MFCs; substrates microbes; areas applications; device performances; design, technology configuration. All these were evaluated, presented discussed which can now be accessed a single paper. was discovered that higher density coulombic efficiency could achieved through proper selection microbes, mode operation, suitable material construction, improved MFC types. Also, full-scale application impeded materials cost low buffering capacity. Though generated still at demonstration stage, date, there no industrial application. Therefore, study reviewed articles set new insightful perspectives further research highlighted steps scale-up reinforcing criteria microbe their corresponding activity.
