Membrane bioreactor (MBR) and microbial fuel cell (MFC) are new technologies based on microbial process. MBR takes separation process as the core to achieve the high efficient separation and enrichment the beneficiation of microbes during the biological treatment. MFC is a novel technology based on electrochemical process to realize the mutual conversion between biomass energy and electric energy, in order to solve the problems of serious membrane fouling and low efficiency of denitrification in membrane bioreactor, the low power generation efficiency, and unavailability of bioelectric energy of MFC. In recent years, MFC-MBR coupling system emerged. It can effectively mitigate the membrane fouling and reduce the excess sludge production. Simultaneously, the electricity can be used effectively. The new coupling system has good prospects for development. In this paper, we summarized the research progresses of the two kinds of coupling systems in recent years and analyzed the coupling structure and forms. Based on the above, the future development fields of the MFC-MBR coupling system were prospected.
