Abstract
Use of plastics has increased manifold over the last 50 years. Regrettably, their fragmentation into microplastics (MPs) (≤ 5 mm) created environmental and human health concerns. Traditional methods of MPs removal are limited by high energy requirements, high costs, and the use of chemical reagents. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) provide a sustainable solution for treating wastewater containing MPs while simultaneously generating bioelectricity.
