摘要：

This communication reports on the potential of using MFCs for powering real world applications, whereby three interconnected MFCs directly energise an external DC motor, and a single MFC recharges a mobile phone, via energy harvesting. The work is aiming to evaluate MPG performance based on low-cost, catalyst-free conditions, with an internal cathode to operate practical applications. It presents the case for simple and easy-to-operate ceramic-based designs as a viable approach to larger-scale implementation in real-world conditions such as wastewater treatment plants. MFCs hold great promise for sustainable wastewater treatment since they are the only technology that directly generates electricity from the break-down of waste.
