Abstract :
The growing concern of environmental
pollution due to the excessive exploitation of fossil fuel
has shifted attention to a more renewable source of
procuring energy one of them being the microbial fuel
cells. The development of MFC is essentially based on
the potential of bacteria to generate electrons by
metabolizing the substrate (sewage wastewater, here).
The mechanism of working of microbial fuel cells is
mentioned. The use of sewage wastewater to tap
electricity while simultaneously decreasing the COD
(Chemical Oxygen Demand) level in the water for it’s
safe disposal with efficient materials for the PEM
(Proton Exchange Membrane), cathode, mediators etc.
have been reviewed. The best mode of operation of MFC
to generate maximum power density in both single and
double chambered MFC has been explored.
