| Abstract: | This review presents microbial
fuel cells (MFCs) that convert biochemical metabolic energy into electrical
energy.
Microbes can be fed with waste
products rich in organic matter (domestic wastewater, lignocellulosic biomass,
brewery
wastewater, starch processing
wastewater, landfill leachates etc.) to generate electricity. MFCs can also be
used for wastewater
treatment, as biosensors and production of secondary fuels like
hydrogen. |
