“…Cheraghipoor et al. 2019 [40] also reported that membranes made of leached Kalporgan's soil (LKS) with 4.52% of Fe 2 O 3 allowed them to improve the power performance of their cylindrical double-chamber MFCs up to 42 times compared with the system working with membranes based on commercial ceramic powder containing 2.92% of iron, which is in line with the results obtained in the present work.…”

Highlights Suitable bioelectrochemical application of ceramic clays with varying Fe2O3 content. 5.75% of Fe2O3 and 1100 °C of sintering temperature allow MFCs to reach 1.045 mW. The Fe2O3 content mitigates the effect of porosity features on the MFC power output. Good stability of the MFCs working during 65 days in continuous mode.

“…Rajesh et al reported that PCMs play a significant role in enhancing the MFC stability, which can enhance the columbic efficiency and give a better environment to the microbes. In a similar set of studies, Marzieh et al used two different types of powder, a commercial ceramic powder and a native soil from Kalporgan villages, to prepare the ceramic membrane. They reported that the use of kalporgan soil as a separator material decreases the cost of MFCs compared to other separators reported in the literature. ,, …”

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are bioelectrochemical devices, which produce electrical energy from wastewater through degradation of biodegradable organic substrates. The use of MFCs for energy generation from wastewater biofuels through electrochemically active bacteria as biocatalysts has been accepted in the recent past. The power output of MFCs depends upon the electrode material, pH of the medium, temperature, internal and external impedance, and redox potentials of cathodic and anodic chambers. The current review highlights the importance of tuning these parameters for improving the energy generation efficiency of MFCs. Because every technology has associated merits and demerits, thus, to avoid offering details of only success stories, here an effort has been made to critically discuss the recent progress and challenges in the applicability of MFCs as an energy generation source and water purification technology.

“…Analyses of Coulombic efficiency in MFCs across various studies have revealed notable differences influenced by operational parameters, electrode configurations, and membrane materials. For instance, in the study by Cheraghipoor et al, a significant increase in CE, from 53% to 83%, was observed when shifting from an MFC using a Nafion membrane to one employing a ceramic membrane derived from leached soil [98]. Similarly, investigations conducted by Das et al showed higher CE values for specific MFC setups, with MFC-B achieving a CE of 10.2 ± 1.3%, representing a 34% improvement compared to MFC-N (7.6 ± 1.0%) and a 70% enhancement relative to MFC-A (6.0 ± 1.0%) [101].…”

Microbial fuel cells provide a promising solution for both generating electricity and treating wastewater at the same time. This review evaluated the effectiveness of using readily available earthen membranes, such as clayware and ceramics, in MFC systems. By conducting a comprehensive search of the Scopus database from 2015 to 2024, the study analyzed the performance of various earthen membranes, particularly in terms of wastewater treatment and energy production. Ceramic membranes were found to be the most effective, exhibiting superior power density, COD removal, and current density, with values of 229.12 ± 18.5 mW/m2, 98.41%, and 1535.0 ± 29 mW/m2, respectively. The review emphasizes the use of affordable resources like red soil, bentonite clay, CHI/MMT nanocomposites, and Kalporgan soil, which have proven to be effective in MFC applications. Incorporating earthen materials into the membrane construction of MFCs makes them more cost-effective and accessible.
