Microbial fuel cells for dye decolorization

Microbial fuel cells are used for energy production, zero carbon dioxide emission and wastewater remediation. Textile industrial effluents contain organic and inorganic compounds that can fuel microbial fuel cells. Here, we review microorganisms that are used as biocatalyst for dye decolorization with energy production. We also present the most common electrodes, membranes and electrolytes used for dye decolorization with electricity production.
