“…The ebflow towards the cathode through the external circuit, while H + diffuse to the cathode surface through the soil. During the photosynthesis, moss roots excrete organic matter, CxHyOz roots, used as a fuel by the EAB [33], and oxidised to generate eb -(Figure 7B and 7D). In the absence of light, both non-photoactive (CF and FTO) and photoactive (FTO/CuxO and FTO/CuxO/Nf) cathodes act as ebconductor materials (Figure 7A and 7C).…”

“…The permissible limit of PNP in natural water is restricted to less than 10 mg l -1 for environmental safety (Zhang et al, 2009). Degradation of p-nitrophenol (PNP) was monitored in a two-chambered microbial fuel cell (MFC) system (Liu et al, 2013). The results showed that maximum PNP degradation was 64.69 % when PNP was used as a sole substrate.…”

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have been demonstrated as a challenging and promising technology towards management of various environmental problems. Bioremediation has been accepted widely as viable option utilizing the naturally inhabited microorganisms, but sometimes the severe low efficiency of the microorganisms and poor controllability limits its application. In this context, MFC technology can be used as a potential means to stimulate bioremediation for effective removal of various pollutants. The special features including energy saving, less sludge and energy production make MFCs as outstanding technology compared to conventional technologies. This article is mainly focused on application of MFCs towards removal of various environmental pollutants viz. antibiotics, synthetic dyes, phenolic compounds, nitrogen based compounds, ethyl acetate, toluene, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, perchlorate, pesticide, sulphur, emerging contaminants, trace organic compounds etc. from aqueous environment. Although the current applications of MFC technology is still at laboratory level, it will definitely prove a great potential towards commercial applications in near future.

“…3 The United States Environmental Protection Agency has listed PNP as a priority pollutant and a potential environmental endocrine disruptor, limiting the concentration of PNP in water to less than 60 ppb. 4 The traditional detection methods of PNP include HPLC-MS/GC-MS, 5 cyclic voltammetry, 6 electrochemical impedance, 7 fluorescence analysis, 8 ion mobility spectrometry 9 and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. 10 However, these methods have many problems in terms of sensitivity, simplicity, and economy.…”
