“…For instance, research on microbial consortia and biofilm growth has been conducted [192]. Extensive research has also been performed regarding membrane design [193,194], as well as research on electron transfer mechanisms [153,154]. Moreover, the fundamental principles of the design and operation of microbial fuel cells rely on established theoretical foundations applicable to closely related disciplines, such as colloidal systems, where the electric double layer theory is central to the analysis of colloidal stability.…”

Microbial fuel cells and their related microfluidic systems have emerged as promising greener energy alternatives for the exploitation of avenues related to combined power and wastewater treatment operations. Moreover, the potential for their application in biosensing technology is large. However, while the fundamental principles of science that govern the design and operation of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and microfluidic microbial fuel cells (MMFCs) are similar to those found in colloid science, the literature shows that current research lacks sufficient reference to the electrostatic and electrokinetic aspects, focusing mostly on aspects related to the architecture, design, anodes, microbial growth and metabolism, and electron transfer mechanisms. In this regard, research is yet to consider MFCs and MMFCs in the context of electrostatic and electrokinetic aspects. In this extensive review, we show, for the first time, the interrelationship of MFCs and MMFCs with electric double layer theory. Consequently, we show how the analytical solution to the mean field Poisson–Boltzmann theory relates to these systems. Moreover, we show the interrelationship between MFC and MMFCs’ performance and the electric double layer and the associated electrostatic and electrokinetic phenomena. This extensive review will likely motivate research in this direction.

“…These problems may originate from the inactivation of the enzymes due to cofactor replacement [4,5]. When ingested or inhaled, textile dyes can irritate the skin and eyes, especially if they have been exposed to dust [6,7]. The aromatic structure of dyes increases their resistance to deterioration in the presence of the environment.…”

In situ polymerisation process used for manufacturing polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticle-reinforced various doping concentration of zinc oxide (ZnO NPs) nanocomposites. Fourier transform infrared(FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy(SEM), Photo luminescence (PL) and UV-vis spectroscopy was used to characterise the polymer nanocomposite. The ZnO nanoparticles are distributed throughout PPy matrix as shown in the SEM pictures of the nanocomposites. Distinctive peaks of Pure PPy and metal oxide bond of ZnO are as displayed in the FTIR spectra. Optical property of PPy, ZnO and PPy/ZnO was studied by using PL and UV-DRs spectrophotometer. These outcomes demonstrated that the synthesised PZ30 nanoparticles could potentially use in the treatment of wastewater.
