Abstract Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and forward osmosis (FO) are both attractive and versatile wastewater treatment technologies that possess disadvantageous qualities that prevent their optimal performance. This study aimed to investigate how draw solute selection for FO treatment would affect MFC performance in a coupled FO‐MFC system. Two types of draw solutes, NH 4 HCO 3 and NaCl, were studied, and it was found that 1.0 M NH 4 HCO 3 (FO‐MFC‐A) and 0.68 M NaCl (FO‐MFC‐B) had similar water fluxes of 6.04 to 3.39 LMH and 6.25 to 3.54 LMH, respectively. The reverse salt flux from the draw decreased the feed solution resistance for both draw solutes, but the FO‐MFC‐A system (0.32 W m −2 ) had a higher maximum power density than the FO‐MFC‐B system (0.26 W m −2 ). The current density for the FO‐MFC‐B system increased due to continuous solution resistance decrease, whereas it remained constant for the FO‐MFC‐A. The difference in Coulombic efficiencies (32.8% vs. 25.6%) but similar Coulombic recoveries (10.2% vs. 11.4%) between the FO‐MFC‐A and FO‐MFC‐B systems suggested that the FO‐MFC‐A might have the inhibited microbial activity by high ammonium/ammonia. The FO‐MFC‐A system had the lower energy consumption for nutrient removal (2.01 kWh kg −1 NH 4 + ‐N) and recovery (8.87 kWh kg −1 NH 4 + ‐N). These results have shown that NH 4 HCO 3 as a draw solute can have advantages of higher power density, higher Coulombic efficiency, and recoverability for draw regeneration, but its potential inhibition on microbial activity must also be considered. Practitioner Points Forward osmosis can be connected to microbial fuel cells for wastewater treatment. Water recovery by forward osmosis can greatly reduce the wastewater volume to microbial fuel cells. Ammonium draw solutes can result in lower volumetric energy consumption. Ammonia inhabitation of anode microbes will decrease organic removal.
