Abstract
•Current status of R&D works on microalgae–microbial fuel cells is listed.•Limitations of microalgal and MFC processes are discussed.•Challenges and prospects for commercialization of mMFC are highlighted.
Microalgae–microbial fuel cells (mMFCs) are a device that can convert solar energy to electrical energy via biological pathways. This mini-review lists new research and development works on microalgae processes, microbial fuel cell (MFC) processes, and their combined version, mMFC. The substantial improvement and technological advancement are highlighted, with a discussion on the challenges and prospects for possible commercialization of mMFC technologies.
