Abstract
Microbial fuel cell (MFC) performance has been dramatically improved by optimizing physicochemical parameters, especially in the early period of MFC research, for MFC practical applications. The enhancement in power output of MFC can be dependent on several physical and chemical parameters such as electrode material and morphology, catalyst on electrode, reactor design, membrane/separator, temperature, pH, electrolyte conductivity, and types of oxidants and substrates (fuels). The optimized conditions of physical and chemical parameters can enhance performance of MFC by decreasing internal resistance which is the sum of over potentials at the anode and cathode chambers and the separator part, and by increasing Columbic efficiencies. The effects of these parameters on MFC performance are discussed below in details.
