Examining the Structure and Efficiency of the Microbiological Fuel Cell

Microbiological fuel cells (MFC) are considered one of the significant future potentials in providing clean and renewable energy. Besides providing electrical energy, the most widely used and flexible one among the other types of energy, MFCs not only does not cause the slightest pollution to the environment but also purify and eliminate environmental pollution and have a significant effect on municipal sewage and the leachate from municipal solid waste. MFC technology has not yet reached commercial and mass production because of low efficiency. With the commercialization of this industry, municipal sewage will be raised not only as a problem but also as a source of clean energy supply as municipal sewage is a rich source of microorganisms used in microbiological fuel cells. MFCs could convert the chemical energy stored in the chemical compounds of biomass into electrical energy with the help of microorganisms. MFCs are especially proper for supplying the power of remote measurement systems (Telemetry) and wireless sensors that need low power to transmit signals like temperature to final receivers in distant locations.
