Progress in Research on Microbial Fuel Cells
微生物燃料电池的研究进展

According as there are mediators or not, the microbial fuel cells could be classified in two classes: indirect microbial fuel cells and direct microbial fuel cells. In this article, research progresses of microbial fuel cells in recent years were summarized. The operation principles and history of microbial fuel cells were described. Present researches of direct microbial fuel cells and the problems to be resolved were specifically pointed out. Finally, the application prospect of microbial fuel cells was forecasted.
