Plant microbial fuel cells can generate electricity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in soils

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology has received considerable attention in the field of wastewater treatment over the past decade. This technology can simultaneously generate electricity and treat wastewater by cultivating electrochemically active microorganisms. However, recent discoveries have shown that MFC systems can be combined with soil to form soil microbial fuel cells (SMFCs), or further combined with plants to form plant microbial fuel cells (PMFCs).
