A new bioelectrochemical approach based on metabolic activities inoculated bacteria, and the microbial fuel cell (MFC) acts as biocatalysts for the natural conversion to energy of organic substrates. Among several factors, the organic substrate is the most critical challenge in MFC, which requires long-term stability. The utilization of unstable organic substrate directly affects the MFC performance, such as low energy generation. Similarly, the interaction and effect of the electrode with organic substrate are well discussed. The electrode-bacterial interaction is also another aspect after organic substrate in order to ensure the MFC performance. The conclusion is based on this literature view; the electrode content is also a significant challenge for MFCs with organic substrates in realistic applications. The current review discusses several commercial aspects of MFCs and their potential prospects. A durable organic substrate with an efficient electron transfer medium (anode electrode) is the modern necessity for this approach.

Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are the special devices which are been used to produce electricity by anaerobic fermentation of organic as well as inorganic matter from easily metabolized biomass to complex wastewater using microbes as biocatalysts. Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) is a bio-electrochemical catalytic activity of microbes to produce electricity from the oxidation of organic, substrates under natural condition. There is an increasing interest in photosynthetic MFCs designed to harness Earth's most abundant and promising energy source. Despite their MFCs havent yet successfully translated into commercial applications because they demonstrate persistent performance limitations and bottlenecks associated with scaling up. micro scale MFCs have received attention as a singular platform for various applications like powering small portable electronic elements in remote locations, fundamental studies of microorganisms, screening bacterial strains, toxicity detection in water. MFC is a great technology which can be used in the Modern World for generation of electricity and concomitant wastewater treatmentt.
