Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) produce electricity,which is clean and renewable energy,through degradation of pollutants in wastewater by microorganism.MFC biocathode refers to microorganisms attaching on electrode surface to form biofilm while electron transferred from cathode to microorganisms via bioelectrochemistry reactions. This review introduces the classification of biocathodes based on aerobic and anaerobic conditions, biofilm community, electrode materials, separation membranes, and present the main applications in pollutant removal and recover as well as the possible future research directions.

Contents
