“…Two identical MFCs (MFC CC and MFC LCPGE ) were fabricated by two pyrex glass bottle of equal volume with a capacity of 250 mL, separated by proton exchange membrane (PEM) (Nafion 117; Sigma-Aldrich) [10]. PEM was pretreated with 30% H 2 O 2 , 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 , and deionized water for 1 h [5].…”

“…Both the MFCs exhibits almost similar removal efficiency and can be attributed that the microbes are well acclimatized in the anode chamber of the MFC CC and MFC LCPGE . Moreover, the LCPGE electrodes are highly biocompatible, and therefore microorganisms can utilize the anode as their final electron acceptor [10]. …”

“…The advantage of using LCPGE is highly conductive due to the presence of liquid crystals. Additionally, LCPGE surface contains various functional group such as NH 2 , C≡N, C=O and O-C and/or C-O-C, which exhibits excellent electrochemical response for bacterial adhesion as well as metal reduction in the anode and cathode chamber, respectively [10]. In this study, the performance of LCPGE electrode is compared with carbon cloth (CC) electrode in a separate t-MFC for the removal/recovery of chromium from the wastewater.…”

Today, the world is on the verge of transformation from fossil fuels to alternative and sustainable renewable sources due to many reasons. Many plausible technologies have been developed of which, energy from biomass and biowaste is a widely accepted choice. In India too, the fuel crisis is imminent and renewable fuel sources are being developed on a large scale to meet energy requirements. However, generation of electricity from biomass and biowaste is a rather unconventional method which is less exploited. The technology that possesses immense future prospective requires collaboration of expertise from various disciplines of science. Here we present a comprehensive view of developments and novel approaches in microbial fuel cell research in Indian scenario in the backdrop of the developments on a global scale. Though the research outputs in India in terms of power density is in par with that on global scale, we lag behind in bringing a collaborative approach.

Summary In this study, a multi‐anode sediment microbial fuel cell (SMFC) was used to investigate the electricity generation capacity of mixed‐culture algae biomass. A multi‐anode reactor configuration was used, which had tin‐coated copper mesh (TCCM) anode and platinum‐coated titanium mesh cathode. The SMFC produced a high‐power density of 2965 mW/m2, which is the highest power density reported in SMFC studies so far. The microscopic observations and gene profiling analysis confirmed that the biocompatibility of TCCM favors the bacterial adhesion and enrichment of electroactive bacterial groups (Gammaproteobacteria, Deltaproteobacteria, and Alphaproteobacteria). Our findings indicated that algae biomass could be used as an appropriate feedstock in SMFC to significantly improve electricity generation.
