Abstract Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are an attractive innovation at the nexus of
energy and water security for the future. MFC utilizes electrochemically active
microorganisms to oxidize biodegradable substrates and generate bioelectricity
in a single step. The material of the anode plays a vital role in increasing the
MFC’s power output. The anode in MFC can be upgraded using nanomaterials
providing benefits of exceptional physicochemical properties. The nanomaterials
in anode gives a high surface area, improved electron transfer promotes electroactive biofilm. Enhanced power output in terms of Direct current (DC) can be
obtained as the consequence of improved microbe-electrode interaction. However,… More >
