摘要
Power generation from the renewable biomass sources using microbial fuel cell (MFC) has attracted significant attention in recent years, while chemical energy stored in microalgae biomass has efficiently been used for the sustainable production of biofuels and other valuable bioproducts since the decades. The usage of these photosynthetic organisms in MFC can enhance the efficiency of MFC and provide a cost-effective and renewable approach for the bio-generation of electricity. Microalgae are commonly incorporated either with anode or cathode compartment of MFC to generate electron or oxygen, respectively. Despite microalgae-assisted MFC (MA-MFC) would be more sustainable than using MFC alone, further developments in such systems are still required for improving its efficiency and achieving a real-world application on a large scale. In this context, understanding in bio-electrochemical mechanism of MA-MFC, including electrons shuttle and oxygen generation, is very important. Moreover, many factors can limit the efficiency and performances of MA-MFCs that are needed to optimize in further research efforts. This review presents a comprehensive insight into MA-MFC, including the recent developments and potential challenges in this promising bio-electricity generating system. Specifically, it focuses a critical discussion on the configurations of MA-MFC, key operating parameters affecting performances of MA-MFC, challenges and prospective research works for improving the overall energy output of MA-MFC.
