Abstract

The primary objective is to remove the pollutants from the wastewater streams and reintegrate them into the water cycle, therefore safeguarding the environment and promoting public health. The utilization of membrane fuel cells (MFCs) enables the conversion of organic molecules present in wastewater into electrical energy, while concurrently generating potable water. To optimize the process, it is essential to understand the parameters that affect the performance and the relevant techniques such as electrode materials, microbial collectives, and operating settings to improve the efficiency and performance of MFC. Thus, it aims to present novel ideas that support the real-world deployment of MFCs as a key technology for circular economy and sustainability.
