Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is an interesting technology capable of converting the chemical energy stored in organics to electricity. It has raised high hopes among researchers and end users as world continues face climate change, water, energy, land crisis. This review aims discuss journey continuously progressing MFC from lab field so far. evaluates historical development MFC, emergence different variants or MFC-associated other technologies such sediment-microbial (S-MFC), plant-microbial (P-MFC), integrated constructed wetlands-microbial (CW-MFC). assessed primary applications challenges overcome existing limitations for commercialization these technologies. In addition, it further illustrates design potential S-MFC, P-MFC, CW-MFC. Lastly, maturity readiness CW-MFC real-world implementation were by multicriteria-based assessment. Wastewater treatment efficiency, bioelectricity generation demand, cost investment, scale-up mainly considered key criteria. Other sustainability criteria, life cycle environmental impact assessments also evaluated.

A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a system that can generate electricity by harnessing microorganisms' metabolic activity. MFCs be used in wastewater treatment plants since they convert the organic matter into while also removing pollutants. The microorganisms anode electrode oxidize matter, breaking down pollutants and generating electrons flow through an electrical circuit to cathode compartment. This process generates clean water as byproduct, which reused or released back environment. offer more energy-efficient alternative traditional plants, from wastewater, offsetting energy needs of plants. requirements conventional add overall cost contribute greenhouse gas emissions. increase sustainability processes increasing efficiency reducing operational However, build-up commercial-scale still lot study, MFC research its early stages. study thoroughly describes principles underlying MFCs, including their fundamental structure types, construction materials membrane, working mechanism, significant elements influencing effectiveness workplace. application this technology sustainable treatment, well challenges involved widespread adoption, are discussed study.

The treatment of wastewater is an expensive and energy-extensive practice that not only ensures the power generation requirements to sustain current energy demands increasing human population but also aids in subsequent removal enormous quantities need be treated within environment. Thus, renewable source-based one recently developing techniques overcome environmental contamination issues. In treatment, microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology has demonstrated a promising potential evolve as sustainable approach, with simultaneous recovery nutrients produce bioelectricity harnesses ability electrogenic microbes oxidize organic contaminants present wastewater. Since traditional various limitations, implementations MFCs might feasible option green electricity production, biohydrogen synthesis, carbon sequestration, environmentally sewage treatment. MFCs, electrochemical mechanism based on anodic oxidation cathodic reduction reactions, which have been considerably improved by last few decades study. However, production remains substantial problem for practical owing difficulty balancing yield overall system upscaling. This review discusses developments MFC technologies, including improvements their structural architecture, integration different novel biocatalysts biocathode, anode, cathode materials, community interactions substrates used, contaminants. Furthermore, it focuses providing critical insights analyzing types, processes, applications, challenges, futuristic aspects treatment-related thus resource recovery. With appropriate planning further studies, we look forward industrialization near future, idea this will lead greener fuels cleaner environment all mankind.
