Fuel cells are the most promising alternative green and clean energy source in the future because of their low carbon emissions. Fuel cells have been employed in various applications, including large-scale stationary power generation, distributed combination heat and power, transport, and mobile and stationary applications. Generally, a fuel cell system consists of a proton exchange membrane or polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM), a catalyst layer, a microporous layer, a gas diffusion layer, and a bipolar plate at the anode and cathode. PEMs are an important component in fuel cell applications that act as proton carriers and separators for the anode and cathode, while catalyst support materials are a major component of proton exchange membrane fuel cell. The membrane and catalyst affect the cost, durability, and electrochemical activity of fuel cells. Researchers have made serious attempts to develop materials that can reduce the cost of membrane and catalyst manufacturing, lowering the overall cost of fuel cells. Because of its unique features like 2D structure, ease of fabrication, and low production cost, graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN or g-C 3 N 4 ) is now frequently mentioned.Due to their exceptional qualities, carbon-based materials are also commonly used in a variety of applications, including fuel cells. The effectiveness of experiments using g-C 3 N 4 , carbon nanotube (CNT), and graphene as essential materials in enhancing fuel cell performance is discussed in this study. This review, primarily for fuel cell applications, discusses ways of adjusting the structure in terms of porosity, dimension tailoring, and atomic and edge functionalization. The study also involved the properties of composite materials as well as their respective applications on membranes as well as fuel cell catalysts. This review is useful for investigations into g-C 3 N 4 , CNT, and graphene because it offers ideas and direction for improving the potential of associated systems, including fuel cells, hydrogen production, solar cells, batteries, and supercapacitors.Abbreviations: CHP, combination heat and power; CNT, carbon nanotube; DMFC, direct methanol fuel cell; g-CN or g-C 3 N 4 , graphitic carbon nitride; MEA, membrane electrolyte assembly; ORR, oxygen reduction reaction; PEM, polymer electrolyte membrane; PEMFC, proton exchange membrane fuel cell; SPEEK, sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone).

Microbial fuel cells convert the chemical energy conserved in organic matter in wastewater directly to electrical energy through living microorganisms. These devices are environmentally friendly thanks to their ability to simultaneously produce electrical energy and wastewater treatment. The output power of the yeast microbial fuel cell (YMFC) depends mainly on glucose concentration and glucose/yeast ratio. Thus, the paper aims to boost the power of YMFC by identifying the best values of glucose concentration and glucose/yeast ratio. The suggested approach comprises fuzzy modelling and optimization. Fuzzy is used to build the model based on the measured data. In the optimization stage, the marine predators’ algorithm (MPA) is applied to identify the best glucose concentration values and glucose/yeast ratio corresponding to the maximum output power of YMFC. The results revealed the superiority of the combination of fuzzy and MPA compared with the response surface methodology (RSM) approach. Regarding the modelling accuracy, the coefficient of determination increased by 13.32% and 8.37%, respectively, for without methylene blue and with methylene blue compared with RSM. The integration between fuzzy and MPA succeeded in maximizing the output power from YMFC. Without MB, the power density increased by 25% and 29.3%, respectively, compared with measured data and RSM. In addition, with MB, the power density increased by 22.4% and 26%, compared with measured data and RSM.

In proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) [26], direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) [27,28], direct ethanol fuel cells [29], direct urea fuel cells [30], direct and microbial fuel cells (MFCs) [31,32], the electron acceptor in the is oxygen i.e., oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) occurs in the cathode. The efficiency of the ORR depends significantly on the type of the utilized catalyst because the ORR has a slow reaction kinetics [33,34].…”

Supercapacitors (SCs) are recognized by high power densities and significantly higher cyclic stability compared to batteries. However, the energy density in SCs should be improved for better applications and commercialization. This could be achieved by developing materials characterized by such porous structures as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and metal chalcogenides in the electrodes’ materials. Herein, the recent advances in MOF derived from metal sulfides and selenides as electrode materials for SCs are reviewed and discussed. Strategies such as adopting core-shell structures, carbon-coating, and doping, which are used to promote the electrochemical performances of these MOF-based materials, are presented. Additionally, the progress in developing S-doped MOF-derived catalysts for the oxidation-reduction reaction (ORR) in the cathode of fuel cells is also reviewed. In addition, the challenges and future research trends are summarized in this minireview.
