Given the lack of energy and the lack of proper use of renewable energy sources, there is an urgent need to search alternative routes for energy production. The technology of microbial fuel cell is a promising alternative to energy production. The microbial fuel cell is a bioreactor that converts the chemical energy of organic or inorganic materials into electrical energy. In this fuel cell, various sources such as garbage, carbohydrates, proteins, sewage and cellulose are used as feeds by a variety of microbes. In this paper, the microbial fuel cell and the factors affecting it is investigated. Also, the advantages and disadvantages of microbial fuel cells over other fuel cells are studied. According to the studies, microbial fuel cells using microorganisms can be introduced as a new and efficient approach to generate energy. </span> </p> <p> <b> </b> <i> </i> <u> </u> <sub> </sub> <sup> </sup> <strike> </strike> <br /> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Nisantasi University}
