Review on high-performance air cathode microbial fuel cell for power generation and COD reduction
The world population is projected to increase by one billion for the next ten years from the year 2016. Unfortunately, global power plants still using non-renewable energy sources. Consumption of fossil fuels harms the environment, while nuclear energy could release a significant amount of radio...

| description | The world population is projected to increase by one billion for the next ten years from the year 2016. Unfortunately, global
power plants still using non-renewable energy sources. Consumption of fossil fuels harms the environment, while nuclear
energy could release a significant amount of radioactive material. Besides the energy issues, the growth in population
contributes to the high production of wastewater. Every year, the wastewater treatment industry consumes a high input
of energy for treatment purposes. These issues invigorate research interest in microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology that
can generate green power electricity while breaking down the organic matter in the wastewater. One of the research
advancement in MFC is the air-cathode MFC that is scaled-up friendly due to its simple structure, and ability to utilize the
abundance of oxygen in the air as the membrane and scaling up arrangements. Therefore, this review aims to discuss the
main positive findings contributing to the recent improvement of air-cathode MFC and the obstacles faced for upscaling. |
