“…The transfer of cations from the anode to cathode compartment takes place due to the potential gradient across the membrane 78 . Different membranes such as anion membrane exchange (AEM), bipolar membrane, cation exchange membrane (CEM), ceramic membrane, salt bridge and others have been utilized for the application of mMFC 79 . The favorable quality of membrane materials is the ability to surmount pH splitting 12 .…”

The world today is facing a crisis of energy and environmental pollution. Conventional or photosynthetic microbial fuel cell (MFC) is an advanced "green" energy technology that utilizes living microorganisms to convert biochemical or light energy into electricity through metabolic reaction and photosynthesis, offering a potential solution for the above-mentioned crisis. Further incorporating microalgae into MFC, microalgae-microbial fuel cell (mMFC) integrates electricity generation, wastewater treatment, CO 2 sequestration and biomass production in a single, self-sustainable technology. This review first describes

“…He performed a comparative study with Nafion and agar salt bridged MFCs where the power output from MFCs constructed with agar salt bridge (0.145 V) was much lower to Naifion membrane fitted MFC (0.504 V). Therefore, it clearly explains that the membrane offers less resistance to proton channelling when compared with salt bridge 21 . In a mediator less microbial fuel cell, electron transfer between a microbe and an electrode takes place through the active centre of the released enzymes which directly get allied to the electrode thus facilitates electron transfer.…”

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) has become a great attraction amongst most researchers, where degradation of waste takes place simultaneously produces electricity. Using an efficient organism and a better proton exchange membrane gives out good electricity. In this study, Exiguobacterium sp SU-5 was isolated from soil and used for producing electricity against carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) in Nafion membrane and Salt bridge fitted MFC, where both act as proton exchange membrane. The organism was found to produce more electricity in Nafion membrane fitted MFC. Later the organism was subjected to produce electricity against kitchen waste and the kitchen waste was also checked for BOD, COD and other water analysis before and after the treatment. The organism could produce more electricity in Nafion membrane fitted MFC and found to reduce chloride, fluoride and hardness of water.

“…[12] In the early designs of MFCs, this function was performed by an Agar-KCl salt bridge. [13,14] However, owing to their larger resistance and consequently reduced power densities, salt bridge designs have been largely abandoned in favor of low-resistance membrane-based MFCs. [15] Certain designs of MFCs have eliminated the use of membrane separators.…”

The adoption of microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology hinges on the development of efficient proton‐exchange membranes (PEMs), which significantly influences fuel cell performance and cost. PEMs have a critical role in preventing oxygen crossover, maintaining electrochemical neutrality, and supporting microorganisms within MFCs. Nafion, the current industry‐standard PEM, grapples with environmental, cost, and performance issues. Although improvements to Nafion have been reported using additives, immersion in heteropolyacids, different pretreatment methods, and UV irradiation, many of the challenges still remain. Herein, the recent developments in the area of alternative PEMs are reviewed and analyzed. Among them, sulfonated aromatic hydrocarbons, particularly sulfonated polyether ether ketone, have emerged as top contenders in terms of scale up and commercial viability. At the same time, membranes based on polyvinyl alcohol, ionic liquids, and natural materials are also being actively researched for various MFC applications. Since most studies are short term and lab scale, there is a need evaluate long‐term stability and economic cost of PEMs in terms of standardized parameters such as power‐to‐cost and normalized energy recovery. Additionally, for emerging low‐energy‐density MFC applications like biosensors and in vivo power sources, PEM properties and design need to be tailored carefully.
