Microbial fuel cells
Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are devices that convert organic matter, like wastewater or food scraps, into electricity using bacteria. The bacteria break down the organic material, releasing electrons as part of their metabolic process. These electrons flow through a circuit, generating electricity. MFCs are considered environmentally friendly because they can help treat waste while producing energy. They have potential applications in sustainable energy production and waste management, making them an innovative solution for capturing energy from everyday biological processes.
