The rising energy demand and the decline of fossil fuel usage is calling for alternative, sustainable energies such as microbial fuel cells. Here, we review the electricigens and microbial fuel cells for power production, removal and recovery of metals from effluents, microbial desalination and hydrogen production. We present principles and applications using both double- and single-chambered microbial fuel cells. Advantages versus actual energy technologies include no discharge of polluting gases such as SOx, NOx, CO₂ and CO.

用于生物修复和生物能源生产的电动力装置和微生物燃料电池：综述

不断增长的能源需求和化石燃料的使用量减少，要求使用替代的，可持续的能源，例如微生物燃料电池。在这里，我们回顾了用于电力生产，废水中金属的去除和回收，微生物脱盐和制氢的电子设备和微生物燃料电池。我们介绍了使用双腔和单腔微生物燃料电池的原理和应用。与实际能源技术相比的优势包括不排放诸如SOx，NOx，CO ₂和CO之类的污染气体。
