“…Moreover, the use of a power management system can ensure effective and stable performance over long periods of time (15). Soil Microbial Fuel Cells (SMFCs) are a specific class of MFCs in which the soil acts as the supporting matrix, the source of microorganisms, and, in membrane-less configurations, also as the separator between the anode and the cathode (16).…”

In recent years, photocatalytic microbial fuel cells have gradually become a hot research topic in pollutant treatment, using either in situ or indirectly the oxidation of organic pollutants by catalytic materials under light and the biodegradation and mineralization of various components in wastewater by microorganisms, or through the generation of electricity by the microbial fuel cell (MFC) system to promote the photogeneration and separation of electrons and holes by the catalytic materials of the photocatalytic cell (PC) system. This study aims to provide new ideas for the development of environmentally friendly wastewater treatment technologies by investigating the use of photocatalytic cells for the efficient degradation and resource utilization of target pollutants. This study aims to raise awareness of the use of photocatalytic microbial fuel cells for pollutant degradation by providing an overview of the practical status of photocatalytic microbial fuel cells. This is achieved by reviewing the key cathode development, production capacity, and progress in the degradation of pollutants in photocatalytic microbial fuel cells. The issues facing future developments are also discussed in terms of how photocatalytic microbial fuel cells work and how they degrade pollutants. This study shows that photocatalytic microbial fuel cells are beneficial for achieving renewable energy (bioenergy, photovoltaic, etc.) capacity and dealing with environmental pollution and that this is a novel technology that deserves to be promoted to achieve the current dual carbon targets.

“…In SMFCs, the anode is exposed to the soil, while the cathode is exposed to air [8]. The soil acts then as the electrolyte and the source of organic and electroactive microorganisms [9]. SMFCs are intended for direct in-field installation and remediation; at the anode of SMFCs, organic contaminants are oxidised via the action of electroactive bacteria in anaerobic conditions, while useful electrical energy is generated, which could be used for example to power a remote sensor [7].…”
