Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) Technology

The purpose of this book chapter is to provide general information regardingmicrobial fuel cell (MFC) systems, an important type of fuel cell of environmentallyfriendly energy conversion systems as an alternative to fossil fuel technologies.Besides, it is one of the main motivations of this study to include the academicliterature on microbial fuel cells, which is a very popular field of study in recent years.In this context, the history, principles, and different approaches of MFCs are discussed.After that, the materials (anode, cathode, membrane, etc.) that make up the system areexamined. Finally, different types of microbial fuel cells that can be varied by materialdesign are discussed and presented.
