The population is ever increasing so is the demand for energy. It is said that the need for energy will spike up to amounts equivalent to 18 billion tons of oil by the year 2035. In order to compensate we look toward alternative energy sources, of which microbial fuel cells are promising candidates. They have been of great interest as the efficiency and productivity are found to be more when compared to its bulk counterpart. Ideally a microbial fuel cell will be provided with a chemical substrate that would be broken down by the microorganism to generate electricity. Some substrates provided to the system would be glucose, acetate, etc. The current study focuses on the recent material trends in nanorange for potential microbial fuel cell application. Carbon-based nanomaterials are reported to be most ideal materials for microbial fuel cells with a maximum anode current of 3903 mW/m2 and cathodic current of 4336 mW/m2. This review would highlight the significance of the best performing nanomaterials as future anode, cathode, and membrane materials with high efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
