Abstract

Much work in a microbial fuel cell (MFC) is necessary in today’s context to meet an environmentfriendly and sustainable technology for alternative energy. A huge depletion in fossil fuel is going on rapidly. There may be high chance of a fuel crisis and global warming shortly. MFC is a promising technology in the field of energy production. MFC is a promising technology in the field of energy production. MFC operates with the degradation of different types of wastes by generating various by-products. Proper design and operation of MFC help to get optimum output. The performance of MFC depends on appropriate electrode materials, substrates, pH and type of microbes grown. In MFC, microbial oxidation of natural wastes occurs at ambient temperature. The generated reaction produces energy.

Key findings

  • MFCs are a promising technology for energy production, operating at ambient temperature through microbial oxidation of natural wastes.
  • The performance of MFCs depends on electrode materials, substrates, pH, and type of microbes.
  • Proper design and operation of MFCs are crucial for optimum output.
