Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a potential technology that combines pollution reduction and renewable energy generation in wastewater treatment. Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology, as an innovative solution for achieving pollutant degradation and renewable energy production in wastewater treatment, has received widespread attention in recent years. This study explores the principles, mechanisms, and applications of MFC in wastewater treatment. Through case studies of industrial wastewater, the practical application and energy recovery potential of MFC are demonstrated, and its performance is compared with traditional methods. By optimizing and promoting MFC technology, this study expects to improve the energy efficiency of wastewater treatment, achieve environmental sustainability, and provide policy support recommendations.
