Abstract

The principle of generating electrical energy using biomass forms the basis of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs). This new technology not only produces electricity but also cleans up the waste. Based on the number of chamber units, MFCs are mainly divided into single chamber (SCMFC) and double chamber (DCMFC). This paper reviews particularly about SCMFC. The fundamental components of SCMFC like anode and cathode and the various microbes used in the fuel cell are explained in this review. This paper details about the materials used for the synthesis of anode and cathode. Also, the applicability of SCMFC for the purification of synthetic and real wastewater is discussed.
