Abstract
: A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a bio-electrochemical device that harnesses the power of respiring microbes to convert organic substrates directly into electrical energy. Microbial fuel cells work by allowing bacteria to do what they do best, oxidize and reduce organic molecules. There are different aspects of Microbial Fuel Cells as well as different types of fuel cells. Microbial fuels cell can be used for different purposes such as electricity generation, Bio hydrogen production, biosensors and waste water treatment. However, the MFC technology still faces major challenges, particularly in terms of chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency. So in order to increase efficiency of MFC, coating of silver nanoparticles on electroplates has been proved a more efficient method nanoparticle’s can be more economically formed by green chemistry using extracts of Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi Leaves) and then can be used for coating. Overall this article is fully focused on treating of waste water using MFC and generating electricity at different variations.
