With the significant rise of low power embedded devices in various applications of both consumer and commercial usage, the surge for continuous power requirements has initiated promising research toward alternative sources of energy. It includes the domain of wireless power transmission, internet‐of‐things, wireless sensor nodes, machine‐to‐machine, and radio frequency identification. Thus, the overall scope of this review article is to witness microwave antennas and its implementation in RF energy harvesting system through ambient RF signals. For this reason, unified understanding of classical electromagnetism is needed; beginning with the fundamentals of RF transmission and the exploration of concepts such as Fraunhofer's Distance and Friis Transmission Equation. It is followed up by the analogy of dependency of parameters like circuit build‐up, conversion efficiencies and amount of power harvested, which is quite crucial from the rectifier point‐of‐view. For better improvisement in RF energy harvesting systems, five different cases of monopole antennas are explored with reflector surfaces such as PEC (perfect electrical conductor) and AMC (artificial magnetic conductor) integrated with the rectifier circuit. Implementation with wide diversity has proposed a generalized solution for achieving tradeoffs: polarization and pattern diversity with consistent system efficiency; leads to clean and sustainable energy for low power‐embedded devices.

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) that generate electricity generation from a broad diversity of biomass and organic substrates through microbial metabolism, have attracted considerable research interest as an alternative clean energy technology and energy-efficient wastewater treatment method. Despite encouraging successes and auspicious pilot-scale experiments of the MFCs, increasing doubts about their viability for practical large-scale applications are being raised. Low performance, expensive core parts and materials, energy-intensive operation, and scaling bottlenecks question a sustainable development. Instead, special MFCs for low-power battery-reliant devices might be more applicable and potentially realizable. Such bacteria-powered biobatteries would enable (i) a truly stand-alone device platform suitable for use in resource-limited and remote regions, (ii) simple, on-demand power generation within a programmed period of time, and (iii) a tracelessly biodegradable battery due to the use of the bacteria used for power generation. The biobattery would be an excellent power solution for small-scale, on-demand, single-use, and disposable electronics. Recent progress of small-scale MFCbased biobatteries is critically reviewed with specific attention toward various device platforms. Furthermore, comments and outlook related to the potential directions and challenges of the biobatteries are discussed to offer inspiration to the community and induce fruitful future research. pack.
