Microbial fuel cell (MFC) can directly convert chemical energy of organic substances to electric energy via the metabolic activity of microorganisms with the aid of a redox mediator. Research on microbial fuel cells (MFC) has been making great progress in terms of improved power outputs as well as improved coulombic yields. In principle, MFC can exploit the whole biomass energy by far better than conventional biomass utilization technology, namely ethanol and methane fermentation, because MFC requires any subsequent costly process neither distillation and distillate treatment unlike ethanol fermentation, nor reforming process for methane to hydrogen. In this study, as two of the standard components of MFC, proton exchange membranes (PEM) and redox mediators were examined for power generation using two experimental scheme: 1) baker's yeast and glucose, and 2) activated sludge and synthetic wastewater.
