ABSTRACT

Bacteriological fuel cell generation through green technology could enable bioelectrochemical conversion of wastewater and large biomass. However, conducting polymers have shown auspicious materials for catalytic behavior, high conductivity, and exceptional electrochemical activity in this regard. Thus, improvement in the existing environmental pollution, energy crisis, eco-friendly and sustainable energy conversion, and storage schemes can be achieved by conducting polymers-based microbial fuel cell generation, which is given strong consideration for different applications in diverse industrial sectors due to their beneficial physiochemical properties. Therefore, this chapter overviews the synthesis and characterization of conducting polymer-based microbial fuel cells, the diverse industrial applications such as supercapacitors, microhelices, electrocatalyst bioreactors, biosensors, energy storage devices, electronics, lithium ionic batteries, and medical devices, including the future recommendations.
