MFCs are still taking baby steps.
If Fuel cells are new technology for us then MFCs are newest.
A very few people are working on it.
Knowledge of Microbiology, Biochemistry, Material science, Environmental Engineering, etc. required to understand & improve this technology.
Facts

“ A microbial fuel cell is a device that converts chemical energy to electrical energy by the catalytic reaction of microorganisms. ”
Definition

“ A microbial fuel cell (MFC) or biological fuel cell is a bio-electrochemical system that drives a current by mimicking bacterial interactions found in nature. ”
Meaning
![Page 12: Microbial fuel cell advanced](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061116/546604faaf7959f12b8b54eb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

“ MFCs are bioelectrical devices that harness the natural metabolisms of microbes to produce electrical power directly from organic material. ”
Principle
Why we eat food ?
To produce energy , gain vitamin , protein etc. This is our metabolism
Microbes exactly do the same, they eat organic material then produce energy for themselves.
This is the metabolism of microbe.
But some of microbes (bacteria) liberate electrons during their metabolic activity.

Wider variety of applications over conventional fuel cells.
Can be used to solve Environmental Problems Wastewater treatment & power generation at a same
time. Good alternative to Conventional Power Generation
Systems.
Advantages

Limit on surface area of anode as bacteria can clog small pores and hence limit on current.
Still not economically competitive.
Power produced way below when compared with conventional cells.
Very slow performance in wastewater treatment.
Limitations
