Key Points

The aim is to explore the integration of microbial fuel cells and redox flow batteries to enhance sustainable wastewater treatment and energy storage.
Review of recent advancements in microbial fuel cells and redox flow batteries.
Analysis of applications integrating bioanodes and biocathodes.
Evaluation of electroactive microbial strains and redox-active species.
Discussion of power output improvements from hybrid systems.
Found that hybrid systems can achieve power densities greater than 1000 W/m2.
Highlighted the potential of integrating MFCs in various systems like constructed wetlands.
Identified key configurations for enhancing energy harvesting from MFCs.

Abstract

The limited power output (1000 W/m2). The fundamental principles of RFBs are outlined, followed by an in-depth discussion of how they can be coupled with bioelectrodes. We also survey key electroactive microbial strains and redox-active species to evaluate promising MFC–RFB configurations.
