Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) use bacteria to convert organic matter into electricity. This innovative technology offers a renewable and sustainable way to generate power from wastewater, agricultural waste, or even human waste.
MFCs have applications in remote sensing devices, low-power electronics, and off-grid energy solutions. In wastewater treatment, these cells not only generate energy but also help clean water by breaking down organic pollutants.
As research progresses, microbial fuel cells could become a scalable, eco-friendly power source, combining environmental remediation with sustainable energy production.
