Abstract

Abstract Utilizing industrial wastewater sludge as a primary resource for microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has demonstrated significant promise in achieving both energy recovery and sustainable wastewater treatment. With ongoing research and development, MFCs using industrial wastewater sludge as a source material may become a practical and economically viable technology in the future. This chapter provides an overview of the recent trends and developments on this topic. MFCs are a promising technology for sustainable electricity generation by harnessing microbial metabolic activity to convert organic matter into electrical energy. Industrial wastewater sludge, a byproduct of wastewater treatment plants, is a rich source of organic matter that can be used as a feedstock for MFCs. The chapter also discusses the various methods for producing MFC materials from industrial wastewater sludge, including pretreatment, microbial inoculation, and electrode modification. Additionally, the current state of research on the optimization of MFC materials production is reviewed, focusing on factors such as sludge type, electrode material, and operating conditions. Finally, future research directions in the field are highlighted, emphasizing the need for sustainable and cost-effective MFC material production methods for industrial wastewater treatment. Overall, this chapter provides valuable insights into the potential of industrial wastewater sludge as a feedstock for MFCs, and the advancements in MFC material production technology for sustainable energy generation and wastewater treatment.
