| Zusammenfassung: | Recovery of electrical energy is a key parameter for evaluating the performance of microbial fuel cells (MFCs). In this brief review, we analyze energy data in the sampled publications on continuously operated MFCs from the past 12 years and present a rough picture of energy recovery in MFCs. We observe that most MFCs produce a normalized energy recovery (NER) lower than 1.5 kWh/m3 or 1.0 kWh/kg of chemical oxygen demand (COD). The small MFCs ( |
