Microbial fuel cells (MFC) represent unique bioreactors that can directly convert chemical energy into electrical energy by the catalytic activity of microorganisms. Although the principles of MFC technology have been known for about 100 years, due to the recent global energy crisis interest in this promising alternative energy source has increased. Technologies for electricity production, particularly by using wastewater as a substrate in MFC, are in the early stages of research and development. Currently, MFC applications in real systems are limited due to the low power density levels of several thousand mW/square m. Therefore, further studies are necessary in order to enhance MFC technology but also to reduce the costs of the MFC.
