Latest research progress of anode materials in microbial fuel cells

Microbial fuel cells(MFCs) with microbe as catalysts is promising novel technology with the potential to degrade organic sewage and produce electricity. The novel research progress of anode materials in MFCs was reviewed, especially the influence of treatment of carbon basic materials and their functional modifications on the performance of electricity prodution. The existing problems of large scale application of anode electrode materials in current MFCs were analyzed. The application future of MFCs was prospected.
