An Overview on Biological Concept of Microbial Fuel Cells

The microorganisms such as bacteria act as biological catalysts in microbial fuel cells (MFCs). These microorganisms oxidize the organic matter at the anode and transfer the electrons exogenously to the electrode surface (anode surface) without any need of artificial mediators. Such microorgani...
