Review on Material and Design of Anode for Microbial Fuel Cell

Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) is a bio-electrochemical system that generates electricity by anaerobic oxidation of substrates. An anode the most critical component because primary conversion wastewater into electrons and protons takes place on surface anode, where biofilm formed. This paper describes essential properties classifies its types according to material used make it. Anode responsible for flow generated microorganism; hence biocompatibility conductivity can considered be two important properties. In this paper, various modification strategies improve performance anodes MFC are explained through review researchers’ published work in field. The shape size turned out very significant as microbial growth depends available area. attachment an largely interfacial chemistry. Methods improving altering material, architecture, biocompatibility, longevity discussed with future perspective giving special importance cost.
