Microbial fuel cells present an emerging technology for utilizing the metabolism of microbes to fuel processes including biofuel, energy production, and the bioremediation of environments. The application and design of microbial fuel cells are of interest to a range of disciplines including engineering, material sciences, and microbiology. In addition, these devices present numerous opportunities to improve sustainable practices in different settings, ranging from industrial to domestic. Current research is continuing to further our understanding of how the engineering, design, and microbial aspects of microbial fuel cell systems impact upon their function. As a result, researchers are continuing to expand the range of processes microbial fuel cells can be used for, as well as the efficiency of those applications.

A single-chamber and membrane-less microbial fuel cells (MFC) was successfully started up using anaerobic sludge as inoculums without any nutrient elements for 20 d. Under 30 °C, excess sludge SS was about 21000 mg·L-1, anode area for 31.4 cm2and in 200 mM NaCl concentration agent conditions experiment MFC, while the control device (CD) directly with original sludge anaerobic digestion. The electricity generation of microbial fuel cell and the contrast of substrate changes were investigated. The results show that obtained maximum voltage is 597.3 mV, pH in MFC is slightly higher than in contrast test. Volume reduction in MFC is larger than the controls. Reducing sugar in MFC is lower than that in CDs. Proteins increase at first and then decrease, finally there is no significant difference in both of MFC and CD. Key words: Microbial Fuel Cells, Excess Sludge, Anaerobic Digestion, Reutilization
