Abstract
Microbial fuel cells(MFCs)have a simple structure and excellent pollutant treatment and power genera-tion performance.However,the slow kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)at the MFC cathode limit power generation.The electrochemical performance of MFCs can be improved through electrocataly-sis.Thus far,metal-based catalysts have shown astonishing results in the field of electrocatalysis,enabling MFC devices to demonstrate power generation capabilities comparable to those of Pt,thus showing enor-mous potential.This article reviews the research progress of meta-based MFC cathode ORR catalysts,in-cluding the ORR reaction mechanism of MFC,different types of catalysts,and preparation strategies.The catalytic effects of different catalysts in MFC are compared and summarized.Before discussing the prac-tical application and expanded manufacturing of catalysts,we summarize the key challenges that must be addressed when using metal-based catalysts in MFC,with the aim of providing a scientific direction for the future development of advanced materials.
