摘要：

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are environmentally friendly technology capable of converting chemical energy stored in waste-waters directly into electrical energy by using microorganisms as biocatalysts. However, the overall low power density of the MFC and the high cost of its components are two major barriers for its commercialization. Among all the factors, the electrodes (cathode and anode) materials play the significant role in affecting the performance of MFCs. Recently, the performance of MFCs has been improved by using graphene-based electrodes that are more conductive and mechanically stable with larger surface area and higher electrocatalytic activity compared to the conventional carbon materials. This paper provides an overview of recent research progress in graphene-based materials as electrodes for MFCs, which will be the promising candidates for developing MFCs and other bioelectrochemical systems to achieve sustainable water/wastewater treatment and bioenergy production.
