Microbial fuel cell

A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a bioelectrochemical system that converts organic matter, typically from wastewater or other biodegradable materials, into electrical energy through the activities of microorganisms. Here’s how it works: ### Components 1. **Electrodes**: MFCs consist of an anode (negative electrode) and a cathode (positive electrode). The anode is where oxidation occurs, while the cathode is where reduction takes place.
