Abstract

This paper summarised different methods used for the electrical power generation using microorganisms in MFC. In the past decade, Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) attracted many researchers due to their ability to convert organic waste into electric currents by the usage of microorganisms. It has been developing as a great source of renewable energy. This device makes use of simple cathode and anode compartments and a separating membrane. This can be efficiently used for power generations and wastewater treatments. Microbial electrolysis cell (MEC), a type of MFC is also used in generating Hydrogen energy from various biological matters. The performance of MFC totally depends upon the nature of microorganisms, electrodes selected, and the separating membarane used. MFCs serve as a sustainable and alternate energy source to reduce the pollution caused by industrialization. In this review, a detailed explanation about MFC and different ways of generating bioelectricity and hydrogen from wastewater treatment are explained.
