With an emphasis on optimizing performance and applications, the book explores the latest developments, from electrodes and membranes, to genetic engineering and artificial intelligence. Sections cover the design and construction of microbial cells, explore the use of different microorganisms for power generation, discuss the operation and control of microbial fuel cells, including environmental conditions, electron mediators, and intelligent control, and review the various applications of microbial fuel cells.
A final section considers the challenges and prospects of microbial fuel cells, including new technologies, applications, and scale-up.
- Examines the development and modification of non-biological components in microbial fuel cells, such as electrodes, membranes, and electron mediators
- Analyzes the feasibility of various advanced technologies, such as 3D printing, genetic engineering, and intelligent control to improve the performance of microbial fuel cells
- Critically reviews the applications of microbial fuel cells, including wastewater treatment, valorization of lignocellulosic biomass wastes, bioremediation, biosensors, and the production of value-added products

Shijie Liu
Dr. Shijie Liu is a professor of bioprocess engineering at the State University of New York – College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF), Syracuse, NY, USA. His contributions include volume averaging in porous media, kinetics of reactions on solid surfaces, cooperative adsorption theory, the theory of interactive enzymes, and the kinetic modeling of polyauxic growth / fermentation. Much of his childhood was spent in the country side of Sichuan Province in China, finished high school in 1978 from Luxi High School, in a little town just a few kilometers away from his home of birth. He graduated from Chengdu University of Science and Technology (now merged into Sichuan University) with a BS degree in Chemical Engineering in 1982. His early career started in the chemical industrial city of Lanzhou, China before moving to Canada. He obtained his PhD degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Alberta in 1992 under Prof. Jacob H. Masliyah. Since then, he worked in the University of Alberta and Alberta Research Council before joining SUNY ESF in 2005. He has over 150 peer-reviewed publications today and maintains strong collaborations with colleagues in China from various universities. He taught a variety of courses including transport phenomena, numerical methods, mass transfer, chemical kinetics, pulp and paper technology, colloids and interfaces, chemical reaction engineering, bioreaction engineering, bioprocess kinetics and systems engineering, bioefinery processes, advanced biocatalysis, advanced bioprocess kinetics, and bioprocess engineering. Dr. Liu currently serves as the Editor-In-Chief of the Journal of Biobased Materials and Bioenergy, as well as the Editor-In-Chief of the Journal of Bioprocess Engineering and Biorefinery.
